Open my hood!
My 72 Blazer has a billet grill. The hood release was relocated behind the bumper with a "T" handle. It seems the the nuts holding the handle at the latch up top have come loose. How can access my hood latch now?

Re: Open my hood!
Can you access the grill hardware? If so remove the grill so you can get to the latch.

Re: Open my hood!
this happened to me when i had a billet grille on my 05 dakota. I always used a screwdriver or a pocket knife to push the lever

Re: Open my hood!
Can you wire tie the latch together without hurting the grill for a temporary tightening of the latch to handle.
