2 years later you are still saving lives out here. Thank You.

I had this same problem and was about to give up and head to a mechanic to swap out either the latch or the cable. But then I watched your video. So, I had my wife yank the hood handle all the way up, and I slid a shoe horn through the gap and lifted it. And bam, the hood popped open. I followed your advice, sprayed some WD-40 and grease, and boom, problem solved! Thank you so much!

I was just about to try jumping the battery in my vehicle and in the process the latch on my hood got locked. I was beside myself. You have no idea how much money time and frustration you saved me. I can’t thank you enough!

I am super grateful for this video, at first I didn't think it would work but I figured what do I have to lose...and I actually gained!! My hood is open🎉

[danstone]

My latch wasn't fully releasing and your suggestion to keep hood release wedged open with something saved my day 🙏🏻 Thank you!

Omg your video helped me so much thank you. It’s been so cold lately my hood was definitely frozen shut. Holding the lever initially didn’t work for me so I started pulling the lever back and forth while someone else kept knocking the hood lid like you illustrated ….And like magic!! Open!! Thanks again

My husband held the latch while pried just a bit and Whammo! it opened. Oiled all the mechanisms and shut and close 3x's. Good to go. Thank you x10.

Thankyou for the tip.I did not know how to get in until I watched this.Then it worked like a treat

[DallasdotMPEG]

Thank you so much bro, just got a car and popped the hood to check my fluids and oil and all that then the next time i went to open it was stuck. was super nervous but this worked perfectly thanks again man.

I can't thank you enough! I used the extra compact umbrella I had in my car to hold open the release and was able to get the hood open and the latched lubed. PERFECT!

I’m a 16 year old, driving my parents 2008 F150 around. The battery cable wires etc are fucked which makes it unable to start once in awhile like as if the battery is dead. This time though the hood couldn’t open which left me clueless until I came across your video, instead of getting a cousin to hold the hood release I used a wrench lol. THANK YOU

[daniellevaitekunas]

Omg THANK YOU MUCH!!! It worked! I didn't know the latch was frozen and you should have someone hold the latch button! So I had my son pull it while I opened it !!! I'm super excited lol I thought my hood was broken

Bro... my 2018 highlander had this issue forever, and you hella helped me out.

I appreciate you, bro.

Thank you.

[PurpleStar]

You just saved me a lot of stress. Thank you so much. I don't have an umbrella stand so I used my lip gloss it fit right in there

[bryeats]

Just did this today!! Thank you, this video was a life saver. Spray some wd-40 or something in the cracks first.

[acaesar]

Thank you for the video. Took me 5 seconds and had it fixed.

[todd]
