The latch that pops the hood broke off, how do I get my hood open?

So i went to pop the hood today to check the oil and when I pulled on the little lever or whatever it is, it pops the hood and snaps right off. Now I am in quite a pickle because I can't open the hood until i get that fixed, which will not be right away so I was wondering if anyone knows of another way to do it. Also, does warranty cover this or no, I think the car is a lemon because the windows are already squeaking...

PS: so there is no confusion, this is the little plastic thingy on the inside of the car by the driver door, not the latch that holds down the hood...


any help is apprecieated, cheers...

grab a pair of pliers, use them to grab onto little plastic piece that used to be attached to the latch, and pull, happens all the time
