Great now my frunt lid will not open!!

try pulling on the lid while holding the open latch - inside the car ........ might work!

 

push the lid all the way down, hold it and ...... and pull the lever

 

The same thing happened to me about five years ago. The previous owner ran a make shift cable to the latches and the cable had stretched over time thus not releasing the bonnet. What I did (if I remember correctly) was removed the front grill/bumper and unbolted the bonnet at the hinges. Then carefully slid the bonnet towards the front of the car until the bonnet was clear of the latches. Be carefull not to scratch your paint (bonnet studs on the underside) while removing the bonnet. Also, it is helpful if someone can give you a hand. I hope that helps!

Did you try the backup cable? Both the front and rear lids have a second cable on my 85 QV. They are hidden pretty well since they are seldom needed. Mine is normally tucked behind the carpet but I pulled it out for this picture. I assume they are there just in case the primary cable breaks.

sounds like a latch alignment issue as there are 2 latches on these so one of them is probably hanging up..sometimes it helps to have an extra person to do this once the lid is closed have the out side person gently press down on the lid in the center,once its compressed down the person inside pulls the release open and then outside person can try to pull the hood up.if that fails than do the same thing on which ever side of the hoods not releasing.
