i thought the first two posts were pretty good advice... i mean there really is no emergency-hood-opening-latch-for-when-your-regular-hood-latch-breaks.

i broke mine on my civic a long time ago, but since i only broke off the handle, i just pulled the kick panel out, and now i have to reach up under the dash and grab the wire and yank it every time.

everyones is different tho, so if you cant reach under the dash to get it, then you have to go up behind the bumper somewhere. if you want, i can post up the helms manual pic of the release cable, so you can try to route where it goes. i think the 94-01 tegs (and possibly the DA's) had it run up around the drivers fender, so you might be able to find it there.

good luck bro.
