Re/ Hoods not opening by pulling lever in glovebox. ONE thing to consider is...Is the car rusting out downstairs? Is it becoming a front-end "low rider" as time goes by? If the body arms that hold the front axle assembly to the car are sagging due to rust, the whole front end will get bent...thus making the hood opening progressively harder and harder. By the way...at this point, the hood will often open even though you don't hear the release noise. Pull lever, then Go up front and just PULL it up. Well...this worked for me for a few years. Then decide if you can spend god-knows how much to un-do the rust...essentially re-doing the car frame. Anyone got spare frames in their garages? ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.
