Push out the plastic grommit located in the windshield wiper mechanism through behind each latch. Carefully insert a screwdriver through each now open hole and lift up on latch tang. Each side will require a different length screwdriver. If yours is already broken, I would check out a friends C3. It is quite easy once see how every thing is located and opperates.

There's a special tool that'll release the latch by sticking it in between the hood edge and windshield. Any Corvette shop or even a dealer should have this. I've seen it advertised in Vette parts catalogs.
