You're welcome!

If you can get another set of hands, it would be worth pushing or tapping on the "hook" while pressure is held on lifting the handle. The handle can be broken easily though so make sure whoever is helping knows this. There is something wrong with the opening levers I think.

Can you take some pictures through the gap in this area below the hood front? It could help.
