How to Open a Stuck Front Bonnet on the Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta MK 4, MK IV, Be91, Fiesta 4 - Years 1996-2002
Part: Body

If the front bonnet does not open despite pulling the release lever from inside the cabin, try to open the lock directly by acting on the mechanism itself: through the grille of the front panel, intercept the cable sheath of the lock and follow it to locate the lever that keeps the lock closed; at this point, use a screwdriver to press on the lever and release the lock to allow the bonnet to open without breaking or damaging anything.
