s70 hood won't open ??

Post by Guest »

After pulling the hood latch lever inside my car the right side of the hood pops up a little but the left side remains down. Using the under hood latch does not release it. Any ideas on how to open hood or fix problem?

This thread will answer your question. It's a simple fix.
Open the hood by going back and pulling the inside hood latch a second time after you applied slight lift.

Tree ten mm bolts need to be loosened on the stuck latch then push the mechanism down about 1/8" and retighten the bolts
