1998 Ford Explorer Stuck Hood Latch 

Thank you sir! I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to open the latch with a screwdriver but after viewing your video and running out to the driveway to try again it was suddenly a piece of cake! Thanks for taking the time to shoot such a thorough video about it.

Just done this on my '97 Explorer, now works great. Excellent thought out video Sir ! Cheers 🥂

Your version of this problem helped me understand mine better. Thanks!

Your cable tip at 3:53 solved the problem. Easy fix! Thank you!

This video was very helpful... This is the first time I've had to deal with this issue with my 92 Ranger. Thanks a million for putting out this video.

Thanks Coach Z

Thanks for taking the time to make video!

Thank you. Couldn't get it shut. This solved it!

thanks.. good video! the tip on bending the cable holder gave me the proper tension.

You were so close to finding my problem... I hit the lock on the latch and then closed the hood. How is this impossible to find on the internet...

Good looking out Perro

Thank you. This helped me a lot.

Worked like a charm. Thx

Having the same problem. Thanks for the video. :)

if the tabs on the cable holder keep sliding out one side, slide a small piece of zip tie or something inbetween the tab so it doesnt move back.

looks like the fix I need! ....1997 f150 xlt hood latch stuck shut...pull flap does nothing...i don't see access to that little backward c though....it appears to be covered by a plastic shroud protecting the lock from weather & theft......thanks for the tips. :)

you rock!

Very smart👏👏😊

Thanks men

Thanks!!!!!

Wish they had one for a mountaineer tha grill different

This was recorded with a Samsung, it did not come out too bad, but the last 10 seconds should have been cut off...Oh well, if this helps someone ? I succeeded !
