how to open mercedes hood when stuck and cable wont work

Stuck Hood Mercedes

[@tjduff]

Giving you a thumbs-up for the idea of using an inflatable wedge. That exact method didn't work on this car I have, but I did use a wedge to put upward pressure in the middle while I pulled the release lever inside. This GLC300 had been in a prior collision and the body shop didn't get it aligned back totally straight. So opening the hood means you need someone to slightly pull up on the front edge while the other person pulls the release lever.
