How do you get the hood of a 97 Bmw Z3 roadster up?

by Reed on December 9, 2009

We can get the hood up enough to feel the latch but it is like something snapped. You can press it down all day. I need to get under there and fix my radiator. If you know any idea as to how to get it off or open please advise. Thank you!

should be a hood release in the passenger compartment. If this does not get it up and seems to work, have someone pull and hold and the try banging the hood with your fist to see if you can get it to release enough to get to the safety catch. If this does not work you will need to ge to the catch from under the car. You may need a mechanic to do this. I assume you have this up before and it used to work?
