How to open the locked hood latch by yourself

Model: Nissan Sentra B17, MK 7 - Years 2012-2022
Part: Body

In this video, we can see how to open the hood of a car that is stuck. In this specific case, it is a Nissan Sentra, but the procedure is valid for all cars: if we try to pull the handle, we can feel the spring moving but the hood does not open. This is a situation that can be easily solved if we are two people, but if we are alone, it is necessary to have a plastic spatula with us, which we position in a point where it exerts some pressure; we pull the hood release lever again and feel that now the spring has opened and going in front of the car, we can lift the hood without any problems.

How to Remove the Front Bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso?

To remove the front bumper of the Citroën C4 Picasso, you need to take out all the rivets and screws that secure the piece to its housing: these screws are located inside the wheel arches of the front wheels and at the central upper part of the bumper itself. Once all these fastening elements have been removed, you can detach the bumper from its seat by disconnecting the connectors inside and then insert the new replacement part.
