alessandro Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Cleaned the car today and wanted to give a quick wipe to the engine bay but it seems that the release meccanism just under the bonnet got stucked somewhere. Since I fitted the forum slam panel the opening and closing of the bonnet got a bit tight, I guess it's something relate to this Any idea on what I could do?

Gervais Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Get someone to pull the handle whilst you wiggle the bonnet around and it might pop open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
