Hi All Good news, bonnet open after about 15 minutes of trying. Not quite sure what solved the problem. After opening the internal bonnet release half a dozen times & closing the bonnet, it appeared that there was more movement in the external bonnet release lever. I continued to manipulate the lever under the bonnet, each time gaining slightly more movement which enabled me to open the bonnet. The problem appeared to be there is only just enough travel of the bonnet catch to free the retaining hook. I greased up the mechanism hopefully preventing the same problem in the future. I hope this makes sense. Thanks to all concerned.

Hi Guys Thanks for your suggestions, just to clarify I have tried locking and releasing the catch that is inside the car passenger side a few times and the bonnet lifts up about 1/2 inch and locks down fine when pushing the bonnet down. When trying to release the catch as shown above the arrow in the diagram 2, there is no movement in the lever.

Bonnet Catch Cannot release external bonnet catch on 2013 Yeti. Has anyone got any solutions? Thanks Dave
