[s-cars] Hood latch clip broke. Help!

[Brian DeWyngaert Jr]

So I went to go open the hood this morning to check the air pressure
lines running to the FPR to see if they were leaking.  I pulled the
hood opener and heard this slight crack accompianed with the sound of
something hitting the concrete.  It looks like a piece of white
plastic, cylindrical in shape.
To top this off the bloody hood won't open, otherwise I would just
epoxy this and be on my way.  Anybody have a clue on how to open the
hood from the outside. The little clip that broke, I am sure is the
one on the drivers side, since that side will raise about 1.5in.
