Try with two people one pulls the release while the other pulls on the bonnet maybe tapping it slightly it will then have to be adjusted once it is open

SOURCE: renault clio bonnet wont open

Get a second person to pull bonnet catch and you push up and down on the bonnet whilst catch is being pulled. 1, cable possibly stretched, 2, look at bonnet catch under the coloum to see if wire is attached, 3, try and lie under car and look up the back of the bulkhead to see the catch and release it manually. Hope that helps.

SOURCE: the bonnet release cable on my volvo s40 s-reg has

there is a cable under the hod you need to grab and it is likely you will not know what to look for so save you self some migrane meds and take it over to the dealer pay a mechanic on his break 10 bucks to open the hood they can do it in 20 secs or if you are luckey look under the dash where the hood release is and see if you can see the end of the cable if yes grab it with a pair of plyers and pull if hood opens or cable doesnt mode than well it fell of and you now have a new problem that is still dealer related

SOURCE: Can't open bonnet of ford

1. Put the car inside a garage where the temperature is above +5 Celsius degree, and wait for one hour for thawing the bonnet locking mechanism. 2. Spray an antifreeze product into the key hole of the bonnet locking mechanism in order to thawing it. Try again to release the catch. 3. Flush some warm water upon the bonnet locking mechanism in order to thawing it. Try again to release the catch. 4. Spray also some WD-40 product into the key hole of the bonnet locking mechanism in order to release the catch. Try to slowly turn the key to the right to open the bonnet. Don't force the ignition key!

2012 Volvo C70 convertible. The top is stored, trunk lid opens as normal, then everything stops. Have to wait maybe 30 minutes then I can successfully close the top back down.

Question moved from spanish car maker 'Seat' (See-At).
Question edited for clarity. Guessing it is a Volvo, so moved it there. 'Year Make Model' in all question please.

Try, it just be aware of pinch points and get ready to move fast. Also have someone at the ignition key ready to cut power in case anything jams.

How do you release the bonnet of a vauxhall vectra 04 from the outside ?

As a general rule, you don't.

However, if the inside handle is broken, sometimes you can reach up from under the front end of the vehicle and find the cable that leads to the release. IF you are lucky enough, you can pull on that cable and sometimes the hood (bonnet) will pop open.

Bonnet stuck down

If the inside latch won't work, you'll have to reach up from underneath the hood to pull the lever over to open. Usually a flatblade screwdriver will help. The latch lever has to move towards driver's side to open.

Bonnet release cable is broken - how do I open the bonnet. A photo of where the catches are would help

remove the o/s/f indicator this can be done by putting a thin screw driver between the bonnet and wing to push the indicator release tab down. once the indicator is out of the way you can see the bonnet catch behind the headlamp use a torch to locate where the cable should be and pull the latch towards you. it should take you about 10 mins to do this
