My own fault (again). Bonnect is stuck latched down, cable pulls (and pulls to the point I could pull it out) suspect its broken.

I can see the drivers side latch from underneath and according to YT i can get to it but the PAX side looks impossible.

Anyone ever managed this?

Can you get someone to operate the catch while someone else gets aggressive with the bonnet

Yeah, tried that. The bonnet barely moves anyway but the cable now pulls freely, no tension at all.

I’m not sure if you can get at the catch from underneath- we have one in the carpark at work, I’ll see if I can have a look. I’ve never known one to snap a cable, usually the catch seizes.
