Well that was fun.

I just spent the past 2 hours getting my hood to pop.

A couple weeks ago I painted my grill. Turned out nice. Happy with the results.

Well today, I wash my car. As part of my drying process, I dry and clean under the hood.

I go to pop the hood, and nothing.

I realized I screwed something up or reassembled things wrong after putting the grill back on and screwing down the radiator cover.

I had to jack up the car, remove the bottom engine cover and reach up into the latch area.

I pulled the cable and the passenger side came free. The driver side - nothing.

I then had to go in through the drivers side wheel well. I had to reach in near the head light area and felt the spring that connects to the latch. I was able to pop the right side by moving the lever.

I removed the radiator cover and eventually realized I had trapped the hood pop cable under the center hood latch part when I reasembled.

What a pain in the a$$.
