I am not sure if the side latches have released from your description. In any case do NOT play gorilla with the little plastic latch in the grille. I have had to gently push down on the hood to be able to lift the little plastic handle.
If it is the side catches which aren't releasing, the cable has stretched a little and can be pulled with a pair of pliers. Pull the red handle as far as it goes and then grab the cable with the pliers and pull a little more. You will have to change the tensioner on the red handle to tighten the cable - takes a couple of pliers and a lot of upside down patience. You will wish you had three hands!
