Broken Hood Latch

Broken Hood Latch
Hey guys. I read up on all the hood latch related threads but couldn't find the answer I needed. Basically my first latch broke so I went and replaced it with another. I put the other one in and closed the hood. I pull the latch and nothing happens so I pull the cable and I felt it slip off the actual assembly. So my question is how do I get my hood open now?

You should be able to access it through the grill.

Well there is some useful info if the actual cord was attached to the lever. I tried everything mentioned in that thread. How would I get the grill off with the hood closed without breaking anything?

Can't you simply take the hood latch release lever out the equation and grab the cable with some vice grips and pull?
Now if the cable broke/isn't attached at the actual hood release mechanism, then I think you're screwed. I looked at my hood release today and came to the conclusion that the front grill has to be removed to gain access to the hood latch. If this is the case, gently pull on the grill until it's free. You'll break the snaps that hold it in place, but those can be replaced or it can be ziptied back on.
