Not sure what you need answered but I have had an issue 2 times now where the hood latch won't release my hood.
In my case I had to gently using a wedge pry the front of my hood open enough that I could fit my ratchet with an extention and a 13mm socket to the bolts that hold down the latch and open my hood.
So hope it works out for you and maybe this might help too.

How do you unlatch the hood of a 1988 300 E Mercades?
Most hood releases consist of a latch tucked under the hood, but above the grill. If you place your fingers under the hood, usually to the right of center, you will feel the latch. You will lift the latch, and the hood should pop open enough to get your fingers under it. Then, it releases fully as you lift the lid. Two problems can occur on hood releases. One, sometimes the piece of the lever that you should lift up on has broken off. Second, sometimes the piece is there but it wont pop the hood. You could try to release using the safety latch. Or, you could try to pop the hood by placing your hands on the hood, one on each side off center. "bounce" your hands forcefully in a down-up motion and you should hear the hood latch "pop". Use your fingers to try to lift the hood. Sometimes you have to repeat the bouncing motion several times before the hood releases.

Actually it should only pop the hood a little bit, the interior latch release is an anti theft device designed to keep people out of your engine compartment. The second latch release inside the grille is meant to completely open the hood, the double latch system also saves you from having the hood hit the windshield if the latch fails while driving, or you forget to latch it completely.

First check to see that the hood is shut tight. then operate the hood release then go around to the front of the hood and give the nose of the hood a firm thump down with the side of your fist. Many times this will release the hood latch. Once open, lubricate the latch and stretch the pop up spring out a little with your hand.
