Calling all Canadian for more help...

Hi guys, first off I would like to thank all of those that provided advice on how to get my hood open. My hood was locked shut and my battery was taken out of the car when in storage. To make a long story short I ended up removing the wheel well liner (without removing the wheel or jacking up the car) but it took me a good 2 hours. I was in a cramped location and the wheel lock was also under the hood. Since I was unable to take the liner out completely I reached blindly behind the panel and fianlly found the emergecny release cable. The pictures that were provided helped me guess where it would be and also how it would feel like once I found it.

Now my other problem is that I put the battery back in and its just plain dead. So much for charhing it over the winter! Anyway I made my way over to Costco to pick up the group 48 or 47 battery as suggested but it seems that they don't carry it here in Vancouver BC. Sears has also dicountinued their Die Hard battery line here. Any suggestions other than the stealership?

Thanks once again.
