On my 2000 C2 the front trunk will not open. This is a cable operated latch not electric. When you pull the lever I can only describe the feel as different. I am not sure if the cable stretched or not. There is a little sound from the front latch but not enough movement to release it.

I had a friend hold the lever up while I used some plastic tools to try and pry up, swing the second latch and push down while pulling the lever up. So far no luck.

I pulled out the passenger side inner fender liner but could not see any cable present. I assume since my car does not have an electric latch it is not present.

Do any of you have ideas about how to open this? I can’t take the bumper cover off without opening the trunk so not sure yet how to solve this.

Thanks in advance.
