Dead Battery,Doors and hood locked-Help
I have a dead battery in my 2005 Corvette. Like a dope, I took the battery out and shut the hood, of course not thinking that the doors won't open. Now I can't open the hood to put the new battery in because I can't get into my car to access the hood latch opener. The car is at home, so I have time. Can anyone tell me if there is an emergency latch tio open the hood to put my new battery into the car????
Please advise via E-mail or call me at 239-450-8139. I already called roadside assistance and they said they could not help me. Thanks, Dean.

Thanks to all responders but especially to Mike Furman who called me immediately after I posted the problem. As I told Mike this is my fourth Corvette and I have never been in this situation before. I looked under the hood and around the car and knew there had to be someway to get in. Even my wife asked me " What is the key for?" Again my thanks to Mike. Mike is in Maryland and I am in Naples, Florida. When Mike comes to Florida I owe him a beer!
