hood release switch

figures the chain reaction of problems keeps on comin.....first about 2 weeks ago my alternator went out. so as i was takin it to put the new one in at my friend's house, what happens, my hood latch had gotten stuck and as i was goin up a hill my hood flips up and busts up my windshield, hood, and dings my roof. so i got a new hood the next day and got my windshield put in yesterday..when i get home to check out the job on my windshield i discover that the repairmen broke my f'n hood release...any one kno how much one of those goes for??
i just drove her for the first time today and she felt good but im scared to take her out with the bad luck of these past couple weeks

get some hood pins
