Hood Release

The hood release on my 85 vette won't release. I can get the right side loose but the drivers side wont pop and release. Any suggestions ?

There's a $24 tool that is made for that. You can order it from here: http://www.zip-products.com/Corvette...BB6BC11E799219

Or look elsewhere on the net.

If you need in immediately, you can try a chevy dealer or vette specialty shop.

Push down on both sides of the hood above the latches and then try hood release again.

you gotta get Goober to push down on the corner that won't release while you pull the latch and bingo then adjust the rubber ended bolts, and they have to be adjusted just right or you will get a very loud and ugly cowl slap over every bump
