Mine would never "pop" either. I had the same issue until I adjusted the hood bumpers a little higher. But, now it seemed like the front corners of the hood are misaligned with the fenders. At least I can open the hood single handedly!

X2 on above tips.
On the Proton, I couldn't open the hood one day. It ended up being the release handle inside the cab. The bracket that holds it is not very strong & can get bent up pretty easily. I just removed the whole thing & bent it all back into shape & re-installed it. That was over a year ago & no problems since.
On Boy's Ebony, when we got it one of the bolts on the latch mechanism was missing. Once a new one (hard to find) was located & installed, it's been flawless ever since.
