  1. 2016 Skoda Superb Mk3 – Bonnet Stuck Shut! Help Needed Hi all, having a nightmare trying to get the bonnet open on my 2016 Skoda Superb Mk3 280 4x4 (UK RHD). Original problem: Driver’s-side bonnet latch released normally. Passenger-side latch remained locked. Interior release handle was still working. What I’ve done: Removed the driver’s-side wheel-arch liner. Located the bonnet-release cable behind the headlight. Managed to release the driver’s-side latch. Unfortunately, while pulling the cable, the junction box came loose and the cables disconnected. The cable from the interior release handle has also detached from the junction. Current situation: Bonnet is completely stuck shut on the passenger side. Driver’s-side latch is released. Passenger-side cable is disconnected and inaccessible. Cannot reach the passenger-side latch due to the radiator and surrounding structure. Cannot remove the grille or bumper normally because the upper fixings are beneath the bonnet. Looking for advice: Has anyone experienced this on a Superb Mk3 or managed to manually release the passenger-side bonnet latch? I’m happy to sacrifice smaller parts if necessary, but would prefer not to cut into the bonnet. Any advice, diagrams or alternative methods would be massively appreciated!
