Help...Bonnet is jammed open!

[Paulzx]

I'm so annoyed right now - typical scenario messing about at night with the bonnet open looking at the battery, got distracted,

went to shut the bonnet down and forgot that I cleverly left the big plastic battery cover on top of the engine.

 

So the bonnet goes down and semi locks, obviously the battery cover stops it fully closing, but too late - the catch is engaged. So now the bonnet

is locked but it's open by a couple of inches. The bonnet catch does not appear to want to move so it won't just pop open again. I've pulled on the

bonnet latch in the car and that hasn't released it.

 

Please someone tell me they have at least been as big a you know what as I have, and done this themselves and found a way to get the bonnet open again!!

Then bonnet can't be locked if it is open a couple of inches at the front.

It will probably only be the safety catch, so press the bonnet down and release the safety catch.

Thanks Alex, I'll try that, it sounds hopeful. I walked away from it earlier because I was so annoyed with myself.

As usual you're 100% right! 

 

Appreciate it mate
