[Roadsters] back up hood release cable

Actually, your mis-aimed reply that made it to the list may turn out
to be helpful.

One coat hanger, one pair of pliers, 5 minutes.

Straighten the hanger, then fashion a loop (for a handle) on one end.
Snake the other end thru the large grommet on the 45 degree angled
part of the firewall, from the driver's cockpit, where it lines up with
the hood release mechanism. Bend and hook the end to the pull-tab
on the release. Make sure it's crimped so it won't pop loose. Done.

In emergency, crawl under the dash and pull the wire horizontally.
