My hood pops fine but my brothers has to be pulled from the front when the lever is pulled. Mine will jump out a couple inches and we would like the other car to do the same. Is this a bad cable? We just replaced the hood shock and that did nothing. The cable isn't broken, still am able to unlatch it from inside just doesn't pop. Any suggestions?

you ever take the hood off? There is a metal tension spring that runs through the bar on the bottom of the hood...ah shit fuck ARGGH...i never know the names of anything..hold on...
here...
where I highlighted there
there are two plates on each side of where the hood connects to the frame..these plates hold this long spring under tension, and I assume its for this reason.
just noticed....wierd...got this pic from google...newer e30 with battery upfront? i thought they were all in the back?
