Hi, had the same problem. Have someone pull the hood upwards just a little while you unlock it under the dash. It will pop out of both latches and you can use the handle in the middle under the hood to open it. The latches have little rubber blocks to push the hood up when unlocking. In my case these were cracked on both sides. Good luck.
