I figured I'd stick this in General because everyone looks in here first, anyway.
Whilst mine has not broken (thank god), if it ever does, you have two options (IMHO).
1. Hole-saw your hood above the latch to open it.
2. Have some really fancy slim-jim or coat hanger device to reach up under the car in front and release the hood latch.
I've been pondering this for a long time, as when I take my headlight covers off every night, I can't help to think about as the car gets older, the cable does too. And then the lever will 'pop' and the hood won't, hehe.
Has anyone ever given this situation any thought when you can't get your hood open?
