How to open the front hood from the outside when the cable breaks

Model: Chevrolet Chevrolet Various
Part: Checks and maintenance

In the video we see an example of a Chevrolet, but the method is the same for any vehicle with a hood opening with a cable. If this breaks, we can still open the hood by following these instructions. In fact, from the front grille, with a screwdriver, and finding the right angle, we can still manage to move the lock and open it. We must be very careful not to damage the car's bodywork, perhaps we wrap the screwdriver with some plastic taken from a supermarket bag, in order to make the contact between the metal of the screwdriver and the front of the car less intense; also because we will have to make several attempts.
