Default 03 RR can't get hood to open...help???

I have an 03 RR and need to put some coolant in, but I cannot pop the hood. Not quite sure what is going on and wanted to know if anyone could help me out. Thanks!

I'm going to assume you located the pull for the hood (next to the dead pedal)

So what happens when you feel under the hood (above the grill under where it says 'Rover')? can you not find the release?

Have someone pull the handle while you push down on the hood and then up. If you get it, you had better clean and lube the latch , which may only be a short term fix, may need to replace the handle.

I did the same thing on mine as Mike suggest and I was able to open it as well. It took a few time of pushing down on the hood while my son pulled the handle.
