Thanks, Andy, Good info there but I got the hood open.

I first pulled the lever all the way out while pushing on the left part of the hood nose sideways to the right. No luck. It was still tight.

Then I pulled the lever and pushed on the right nose sideways to the left. It was loose! I continued to push it around and to the left and the hood came open. I'll now start studying the install and latch adjustments!

Thanks, again.
