Bonnet release mechanism

[Cvija]

Hi,
I have a bit of a problem. My cable for bonnet snapped and now i cannot open the damn bonnet. Does anyone knows how to open it from outside? But without breaking parts of bumpers etc.

Cheers

Bumper off then you can get at it with a long screwdriver.

But bumper is attached underneath the bonnet. Is there any other way?

It’s only a couple of plastic clips holding it under the bonnet.

If the cable has snapped then no not really, if it’s just jammed you can try moving the bonnet while someone else pulls on the leaver.

But pin with spring goes through part of bumper and to mechanism. How to remove it without breaking some of bumper and grill?
Thanks

It only goes through the grill, unclip it from the bumper and you should have enough wiggle room to get at the mechanism.

Thanks for everything. We did it, exactly like that. First separated grill from rest of the bumper than removed bumper itself. Flat head screwdriver and unlock the bonnet.
Cheers

Had a similar problem, solved with bonnet pins.
