Ok guys, ever since the accident in April, my hood release has been iffy. I removed one from a JY car for no cost as I was buying lots of parts that day.

Which way do you move it to adjust it? It can slide forwards and backwards but nothing has helped yet. I can pull the release from inside and it does not pop up. But if I go outside I can pry my fingers in around the headlights and it will finally pop. Otherwise I have to put a hand on the rear of the hood and pull at the same time.

Is there a general procedure to tweak it?

Thanks Eli for reminding me about this one with your hood seal question.

Adjust it down should make it pop up. May have to slot the holes on the lock.

Got it figured out. Apparently I had it so low that it was not even catching?

Wow, could have had a folded back hood option.
