1985 300SD Cable Broke - How Open Hood?

When the body shop repaired my 300SD, they nor I knew about the hood cable adjustment. It was FULL TIGHT and just snapped the other day. I got hold of the cable by reaching into the slot above the driver side headlight...the cable is disconnected from the release "latch" on that side. I can easily pull it and release the passenger side latch, but that does NOTHING for the driver side hood latch. How can I get to the hood latch on the driver's side? What do I have to do to release it? The front end is pretty much all new, but not everything is a real factory fit.
