With two hands! Depending how long your reach is, you grasp hood on the edge in the middle with right hand and lead it down to about 10"-12" inches from contact and then let it gently fall, while left hand (palm down) firmly pushes down on drivers side edge (with rag under palm of course). Gently but firmly is the key. No grabbing left or right hood edge and slamming down from fully open position!
