Hey guys,
Thanks for all of the help. I now have a new piece of equipment in my trunk...A length of metal rod and a small hammer...
When I got home from the parade on Saturday night the hood once again refused to open... I had my wife pull on the latch, I used this small rod and a hammer, I slid the rod between two fins on the grille and placed it against the latch bulb, tapped it once and presto....
Maybe I'll market the tool as an emergency MGA hood release.. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif
Experience is the best teacher...
