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. -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Otis Blue Sent: Friday, February 09, 2007 11:43 AM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com 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.
