[Roadsters] Hood Latch Stuck

[Mike Harper]

First try putting it on a lift, or jacking it up (support with jack-stands)
and try to access the latch from underneath using a long screw driver or
similar tool.  Once you get it open, run a coat hanger or piano wire from the
latch trrough the firewall as a secondary release.... Not that uncommon.

Anyone know how to unstick a stuck hood latch?  Car sat for a couple of years
and now hood release .... well doesn't.  I don't think cable is broken. Any
ideas not involving torches/cutting/grinding would be appreciated.
Thanks,
