Loosen the latch bolts and move it up a little bit.

If you go the zip tie route, don't go over the High Rise Bridge in Chesapeake. Your hood WILL fly up.
Ask me how I know.

Make sure the latch cable didn't catch when you pulled it open?
You might have to work the release lever inside to get the cable to return properly, even if the lever returns normally as is.

It's probably in the unlock position..leave the hood up and see if it locks with a screwdriver...if not then the latch is still unlocked...spray a ton of wd40 on it
