Only way to open the hood if the cable breaks is to remove the headlights. The latch catches are right behind the buckets. 12 or 13MM bolt and you can open the hood and replace the cable if needed.

I found the easy way was to craw under the front and reach up between the fans and pull the rod that connects the latches to the left, bingo.
