So basically I shut the hood of my car too hard and now the hood is lower than it should be. I'm guessing I dislodged the lever mechanism.the problem is I can barely fit my fingers in and can't reach the lever. I even tried using scissors to push the lever but no luck. Any suggestions? I'm typing this on a road trip with my blackberry while driving to autozone to see if they have anything that might help. How much would I expect a mechanic to charge to fix this?
