Hello! My car is giving me headaches. I mean, the hood latch is doing that. It got stuck. I can't even open it even after disconnecting the hood hinge with a Torx bit (I even damaged the bolt using that). Is there any chance to open the hood without any crazy interventions?

Try using a flathead screwdriver to gently pry open the hood.Hello! My car is giving me headaches. I mean, the hood latch is doing that. It got stuck.

Just in case anyone else is having this problem, here's a tip: If the hood release cable is still connected, try gently pulling on the cable while simultaneously applying slight pressure to the front of the hood near the latch. This might help disengage it.
