Sorry, yes I did mean drivers side. Sometimes the wire (cable) does break or the little clamp will get loose and prevent the hood from opening. I carry a plastic shim, the type carpenters use for doors and windows. You can slide the shim in to help lift the hood up a little and I also carry a 1" x 12", 16 gauge piece of sheetmetal to slid in against the release mechanism. You can also use a long thin screwdriver to push against the release mechanism.
