I had the cable break on me when the luggage compartment was full of stuff, so there was no way I could go in through the reservoir cover. What I ended up doing was to pull up gently on the corner of the hood near the passinger door just enough so that I could slide in a broom stick. With the brook stick I pushed on the metal lever under the hood latch (the piece that the cable pulls on), and opened the latch. The lever gets pulled toward the drivers side by the cable, so if you can get the broom stick in from the passinger side and get the end against the lever, you can push it open.
