Fixed my hood issue!! (94 9000)

I finally fixed my hood! I had to first remove the front grill by unscrewing the two screws that hold it along the top. This folded right out of the way to reveal the hoods pins and the metal plates that they go through. I had to undo the two bolts on the passanger side plate so that it moved freely. This allowed the wire to move off the flat top of the pin. The hood then jumped up to a normal locked position. I was then able to release the hood by moving the small lever with the wire and ball attached to it.
Some how the locking nut on the top of the hood pin got loose and allowed the pin to slowly turn and extend itself. It extended almost an inch further then the driver side pin. This allowed the wire that normally rest in the groove to be on top of the flat part of the pin so I could not release it no matter how far I pushed it over. If anyone ever has a problem with their hood on a 94+ 9000 JUST UNSRECW THE PLASTIC GRILL. You will be able to see everything and it make you like 1000 times easier.
Has anyone seen the European Pick Up deal on Saab.com. Wow I need to save some money and get a new car! Also they finally posted the confirmation of their releasing 3 AWD models. Now I truly need to save some money!
