+1 on this. It's the quickest, easiest and most effective solution. Raising the two rubber bump stops puts just a bit more upward pressure when the cable is released. A few twists fixed my hood in a jiffy.

This works but made my hood stick up like the VX was in an accident & had shoddy bodywork done. I decided to lower the bumpstops back down and put up with the sticking hood.

Mine was sticking and I had to put vice-grips on the cable under the dash to hold it out, like an extra set of hands, while I pulled up on the hood. I coated the latch mechanism liberally with white lithium grease and it seems to pop up like it should now.

I wondered what was in the Chunkie Monkee drinks some on here rave about.
