My front hood is stuck and canīt open. Iīm not sure if the opening mechanism is broken. Is there any emergency way to unlatch the hood and not destroy everything?

Thanks,
J.

I remember having this problem too. As I recall I had to remove the front bumper and to gain access to holes drilled in the sheet metal to gain access to the hood lock mechanism. I think I remember using a screw driver to disengage the hood lock.

It seems I was given this information from someone on Pelican parts and it worked beautifully.

yes, take off the bumper and there is a small access hole to slide a screwdriver in to unlatch it.
