RE: [BlindHandyMan] Frozen car hood

2007-02-09 Thread Robert J. Moore

Otis
Here are a couple of things to consider.
If this is an older car and you are not too conserned about the finnish of
the paint I would go around the front and the sides and just give it a good
pop with the side of your fist. This should break up the ice.
If you have time you could go out with a hair drier and warm it up.
My next question would be do you need to open the hood to jump the car or
will it start and you need to check ththe oil?
If it will start, just run it until. The hood warms up. Once you get it open
I would spray the latch with some thing that is known to repel moisture. Do
not use lock deicer or any such thing that has alcohol in it. Maybe some one
els has a sugjestion for lubricant. I am thinking some thing like silicon.
Or the like.

IF all else fails wait until spring and I asure you it will open just fine.

Hi everyone,

Well I just ran into a problem with my car. The hood of my car is frozen
stuck and I can't get it open. Do anyone have any ideas on what I can do to
unfreeze it? When I pull the handle that pops the hood, it seems that it's
hard to pull. I was told by someone else once I get it open, spray some
WD40 on the latch part that catches to the frame of the car. All
suggestions will be appreciated.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Frozen car hood

2007-02-09 Thread Larry Stansifer
Are you in a part of the country where the frozen condition
is a result of cold temperatures and moisture or is your
frozen condition a result of rust and corrosion?
Year, make model and approximate mileage would also be
helpful. Does the hood open from the front by the headlights
or from the rear by the windshield?

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Frozen car hood

2007-02-09 Thread Victor Gouveia
Hi Otis,

Try tapping the front of the hood where the area of the latch would be with 
the palm of your hand,

This will sometimes dislodge the latch and allow for it to pop.

Don't be afraid to use some force on it, as it might take some force to 
break what ever is keeping the latch from unsticking.

The problem is that you don't know if it's frozen or if it's rusted .

Either way, that tapping should be able to release it enough that it'll pop.

If you find that it won't budge, even after you've pounded it several times, 
try taking a blow dryer on it's hottest setting to the front of the hood, 
followed by some well pointed hot air through the front grill, aiming in an 
upward direction to see if you can release it.

Another option is using a key de-icer on it.

You can get these at any service station or hardware store.

They often come with a small straw that you can insert in the groove where 
the latch is.

Spray a liberal amount of the de-icer into the space with the straw and if 
it is frozen, this should work to melt it.

If this doesn't work, try the WD-40 option spraying a liberal amount into 
the groove.

Hope this helps.

Victor

Hi,

This is a 1998 Buick Century.  The latch in side of the car is just a handle
that you pull to pop the hood.  My step father just went out there and used
a screw driver to pull the latch that locks the hood to the side and the
hood popped open.  But the handle that's in side of the car still feels like
it's kind of hard to pull.

Hi,

Yes it's below 0 here.  I think the latch or the cable to help pop the hood
is frozen.  There's no rust.  It probably need oiling also.

RE: [BlindHandyMan] Frozen car hood

2007-02-09 Thread Robert J. Moore
As I said spray the latch mechanism with some lubricant and also make sure
you spray the cable where it comes out of the casing to try to get the
lubricant down inside the cable. Yu might want to do this several times over
the next few days . once you have sprayed it good,gently work the handle
back and forth several times to make sure the spray lubricant gets worked in
good to the entire mechanism.

The one thing you don't want to spray on it is WD40, it is a
petroleum base product and it will attract dust from the
air.
There are a number of really good synthetic based spray
lubricants on the market and any of them will work well for
you.

Hi,

This is a 1998 Buick Century.  The latch in side of the car
is just a handle that you pull to pop the hood.  My step
father just went out there and used a screw driver to pull
the latch that locks the hood to the side and the hood
popped open.  But the handle that's in side of the car still
feels like it's kind of hard to pull.

Oh one more thing. Have some one push down on the front of
the hood while you try to pull the latch. What kind of car
is this and can you describe the latch inside the car?

Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Frozen car hood

Hi everyone,

Well I just ran into a problem with my car. The hood of my
car is frozen stuck and I can't get it open. Do anyone have
any ideas on what I can do to unfreeze it? When I pull the
handle that pops the hood, it seems that it's hard to pull.
I was told by someone else once I get it open, spray some
WD40 on the latch part that catches to the frame of the car.
All suggestions will be appreciated.
