I looked all over for this & missed it several times because I thought it was just part of the plastic coving on the side wall. Seriously, it just looks like a lumpy outcropping of the plastic near your left shin.
mine stays up with hydraulics it doesnt require anything to prop it up

After pulling the inside hood release, pry open the hood slightly with you fingers and directly above the VW symbol, below the lip of the hood is your latch release. if it's not visible or broken, you'll nee a needle nose pliers to grab the stem and pull towards you while lifting the hood at the same time. hope this helps.
