I had this problem after I put a GTO hood on my lemans. No matter what I did I could not get it to pop past the second catch on the latch. I eventually got at it from under the latch. Removed the front valance and was able to loosen the latch and get it open. It was a pain the a$$. Once it was off I used a dremmel and ground a slight bit on the latch and opening in the hood to smooth it some. Then lots of lube. Haven't had a problem since. Good luck.
