How to open the locked hood latch by yourself

Model: Nissan Sentra B17, MK 7 - Years 2012-2022
Part: Body

In this video, we can see how to open the hood of a car that is stuck. In this specific case, it is a Nissan Sentra, but the procedure is valid for all cars: if we try to pull the handle, we can feel the spring moving but the hood does not open. This is a situation that can be easily solved if we are two people, but if we are alone, it is necessary to have a plastic spatula with us, which we position in a point where it exerts some pressure; we pull the hood release lever again and feel that now the spring has opened and going in front of the car, we can lift the hood without any problems.
