- Hey guys. I have a question. Had a vehicle accident today. The car was rear ended. No damage to the front end. The drivers door was pinned shut. Air bags were not deployed.Drivers window up and in tack. Long story short. Trying to pop the hood to access the battery, to cut power from the air bags. While we were extricating. Could not access the hood release or the cable. Had to go straight for the latch. My question is. What is the best way to do this and what tools to use. Jaws were being used elswhere and had a prob with them. Couldn,t use a sawsall, gas everywhere. We eventually got it with two halligans, a spud bar and brute strength.

Comment by Bill Hartman on October 30, 2009 at 8:39am - Did anyone catch Ron Moores web cast on the tests experiment done on ultra high strength steal? It had a lot of good info on this steal and it's location on the more common vehicles on the road today. It also showed some tips on how to deal with it. (Sorry to fireengineering for commenting on a competitors web cast, but it is a very good training article and heads up to all.)
