Best Wishes for the New Year for ALL

the cable to release the bonnet got loose from its handle; it broke through the plastic handle

i have made a new end to the cable but cant get the cable back in its bracket

and if so it flips out when pulling the handle to open the bonnet

the bracket disforms under the force by pulling on the handle

so i cant get my bonnet open any more

i tried to open from the outside through the grillfront with a  thin iron hanger

but cant find a way through

some plastic around the radiator is blokking

is there any other way to open the bonnet from the outside??

No. You'll have to pull hard on the cable inside using a vise-grip pliers.

thanks

but pull hard on only the innercable or aswell taking the outercable along?

the u-shape bracket in which the outercable is holded, when i hopefully gett it in there, bends under the pullingforce

Why would you pull on the shell of the cable?? that you call outercable.

maybe when i only pull on the innercable i might pull along the whole outercable as well and destroy other structures as the bulkhead or things behind that in the motorcompartiment

the problem is that the whole cable isnt held by the u-shaped braked through which the whole cable runs

Try to put somebody press down on the bonnet while you pull the cable.

If not working, read this topic:

 

for now fixed the problem off the bonnet, at least i got it opened

hereby some pictures for the convenience off others

so, the lip in pic 0117 was over the cubic black nob on the right in 0118

i pushed very hard the black nob away with a long concrete steel bar
