Did you try pushing down on the hood (hard) while at the same time pulling the release? That's the only way that mine will open. I never actually looked at it but the latch hook is probably worn a bit, and pushing down on the hood gets me enough clearance to pull the latch past the worn spot.
Pushing up on the hood isn't going to do any good as long as the latch hook is engaged.
