If you are using it with a billit grill, and can't get your fingers in there, personally, I would go ahead and cut the "J" hook completely off and only use the main latch. That way you only have to pull the release inside to pop the hood, then simply lift without having to still get at the latch. If you cut the "J" hook, just don't pop it on the interstate....whooosh...hood on windshield!!!!
