Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know how to do that? I have to wedge a plastic bottle under the release lever to open the engine compartment....

POST 2Original post

You mean you have to pull the lever and then wedge a bottle under there to keep it from re-latching before you can lift the lid? If so, I think the problem is going to be solved by seeing what is going on with the latch in the engine compartment because it probably needs lubrication or alignment.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Doug, Its really loose when I pick and fuss with the cable. So loose that I am surprised that it even releases the latch at all.

Which cable in the engine compartment seems loose? The shiny unsheathed cable or the black sheathed cable? The unsheathed cable is the emergency release and is normally slack.

POST 5Original post

Chao, open the engine lid and loosen (2 bolts) and move the latch mechanism up. This should help a little, also play with the stops (by turning it) at the 2 corners of the lid. GL.

Welcome, Redridge beat me to it

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cory/Redridge, I just bought replacement stops. Do you just pull the old ones out with a pair of pliers?

POST 12Original post

The stops... we're talking about the pegs on the corners... right? Those are screwed on. Just unscrew them to take them off... no tools needed.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Got it replaced last night. The pegs were stuck and I had to use a pair of pliers to coax it out. Thanks Redridge.
