Video tutorial

In this video we can see how to behave if the front hood of the Renault Megane II no longer opens: in fact, the lever no longer releases the hood latch. The YouTuber is therefore forced to enter under the car, at the front, equipped with a flashlight and a screwdriver, to release the spring and open the hood from the bottom.

In this way, he had the opportunity to realize that the cable was not broken, but had come out of the guide, so that the lever no longer acts on it. From the top of the hood, he then reinserted the cable into the lock, ensuring that the ball - which serves to keep the cable in place - returned to its housing.

And it was useful.

It works.
