The last Saturday I replaced my RSX-S 2003 radiator... in order to do it I had to remove the hood lock mechanism... after the work was done I shut the hood and took the car for a short run to see everything is working right....
well... I arrived home and tried to open the hood again to check the coolant level, etc... I pulled the latch but the hood didn't open and there was little to no tension on it.
I have not been able to reach the cable or the spring in the mechanism to get the hood open...
I don't think the cable is broken, may be it is loose...
How to open my car hood?
I am very handy (I have done almost all the services of my vehicles... from motorcycles to super-duty trucks), and I have lot of tools available... cant believe that this stuck hood got me owned!!!
Should I go to a body shop or a mechanic???
