2001 Honda Accord 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

I recently hit a deer with my car. The deer hit the front of my car and pushed back the hood a bit and torn off part of the bumper. So I think I got pretty lucky in the minimal damage done to my car. But my question is, right where the deer hit is where I would push those two levers to pop open my hood. Since the hood was pushed back the levers were broken and no longer open the hood when pushed. How else could I open the hood of my car or make the latch release? Hope this wasn't to confusing for you.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Marcus,

Since the hood is now deformed, it would tend to stick. Get some one to pull the lever while you try to lift the hood and once the latch is released, you can try to get the safety lever out of the way to get the hood open.
