Lumina hood Sign In

I have a 93 Chevy Lumina, I can't get the hood to open. I think I may have broken the cable. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

If in fact cable is stretched or broken you can with some creative approaches and tools get it to make the initial pop open from underneath. They weren't designed to be easy. Auto body shops should have the gadgets and experience if it looks too impossible with what you have,

look through the grill at the latch and see if with a long screw driver you can get it to pop

Re: Lumina hood Sign In

Hey thanks Mr. Greenleaf! I was able to get the hood opened. My neighbor has a similar car and I looked at it and was able to get it opened. You are right they are not designed to be opened easily, that kinda defeats the purpose. It's nice to find a site that offers help without a charge...people helping people. Thats what life should be all about, thank-you, Matthew
