Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: Body

In this guide, we will go through the steps to open a stuck bonnet on the Ford Fiesta, following the instructions below. The cause of a stuck bonnet is often a broken cable; in this case, it is necessary to use a penetrating fluid on the gap of the bonnet, possibly using wedges to slightly open the bonnet. Then, use a thin flat screwdriver to try to manually open the bonnet from the gap, releasing the latch; once opened, proceed with replacing the cable!
