Sorry for being unclear. I'll try again:
I had to remove the part of the latch that you grab with your fingers to release the hood (after being released from inside and popping up a little). The part that you grab is connected to the actual latch mechanism by a rod about 5" long. The latch and the rod stay -- the lever that you grab to open the hood has to go (it mounts to the back of the cross bar). Now, when I "pop" the hood, I have to reach under the grill and find the rod (which sort of just hangs there pretty much out of the way) then pull it to realease the hood.
This is hard to explain - when you see the parts it should make sense.
