1990 760 GLE HOOD SPRING PROBLEMS, PLEASE HELP!!!!!! 700

Greetings:


Does anyone know how I can get my hood open? I am having a problem with my # Volvo, its a 1990 760 GLE. It seems that it gets stuck on the ends (spring connections). The latch itself seems to be ok, but upon pulling the interior latch and having someone pull up on the hood, it just does not seem to work. Sometimes the hood will partially left up on one corner but the other side gets stuck. I have luricated my 2 other Volvos (1988 740 wagons)with white lithium grease, and I have not had any issues. I just need to open this hood! There is no damage whatsoever (mint condition interior/exterior). Please help!

Thanks in Advance.
