You can try going thru the grille with a long screwdriver or prybar and popping the latch. In some instances going up from underneath may be easier if the grille fins are too close together. If you can see the release arm where the cable hooks on to, try to slide the arm over to the driver's side with the screwdriver and the hood should release. Good luck and be patient.
