If you take off the front passenger tire, you can push the hood mechanism
with a long screwdriver. It really helps to have the car on a lift. If
you can get a look at another roadster with the hood up, you can see the
path you need to take. It is one of those "once you have done it, it is
easier than it seems" things. Kind of like pulling the starter!
