Loading ...Q The hood release cable on my 87 325i broke, but I can’t fix it without opening the hood. How do I get out of this Catch 22?

A Sometimes a picture can explain things better than words. Take a look at this image – it should be pretty self-explanatory, but holler if you still have questions or can’t unlatch it.
One other thing. It may be helpful to note that it may not pop open when you turn the screw driver. If it doesn’t pop open the first time, try pulling the latch again a few times then turn the screwdriver clockwise while pulling the hood towards you. Try not to apply too much force to the mechanism.
