Default cant get hood open its stuck

This car keeps breaking my b*lls! And I love it still lol
I wanna check my anti freeze and add oil and i click the hood popping button and I always need to push the release under the hood well its not opening enough to let me stick my finger under to press the release.... The mechanic opened it before when it happened but j don't wanna pay just to open my hood
Anyone got any tips

Have Someone Pull On The Hood Release In The Car While You Try Opening The Hood.

You just learned a valuable lesson!

If your car has a problem (Like the hood does not open normally) then don't ignore it until it becomes a critical problem.

It just starts multiplying and the car goes downhill very fast.

You MUST stay on top of your car repairs if you drive an old car.

What happened to this strapping young man? He looks like he would be up for the challenge.

Post 13 by Abonano in this link shows photos of how to open the hood when it won't open normally. I hope it works as I haven't had this happen to me yet.
