A stuck hood can be a frustrating and potentially dangerous problem. If you’re unable to open your hood, you won’t be able to access the engine to perform routine maintenance or repairs. In some cases, a stuck hood can even prevent you from driving your car.
There are a few different ways to open a stuck hood, depending on the make and model of your car. In general, you’ll need to locate the hood release lever, which is usually located inside the car near the driver’s seat. Once you’ve found the release lever, pull it to release the hood latch. If the hood doesn’t open, you may need to use a screwdriver or other tool to pry it open.
