hood cable broken

[streetrod don]

hood cable is broken or has come loose at the latch. Any suggestions other than cutting a hole in a really nice hood.

Coat hanger or stiff wire and go fishing.

I'm interested as well since I'm putting a cable latch on my non cable truck. I have all the components and have been thinking of rigging something up to make opening easy in case the cable breaks.

Please don't cut the hood, you got this.

I replaced my cable cuz it was starting to fray and I was worried about being in this exact position. Saved that video for the future though, never know when it might happen
