Sorry, this post doesn't help get your hood open and I sincerely hope you are able to cleverly figure out how to do it. Please share your solution.
I just got my 850 in November and soon realized it would be difficult to trip the latches from beneath the car, but I couldn't see another way to get at them with the hood in place.
So, I'm planning to connect a couple of thin cables to the latch levers and dangle them to within reach from underneath just in case. The cables may need to be routed through a small pulley attached to the fender wall to get a straight pull on the levers. If anyone has done this specific suggestions would be welcome.
