What to do if the hood cable of the SAAB 9.3 is broken

Model: Saab 9 3 MK 2 - Years 2002-2014
Part: Body

If the hood cable of our Saab 9.3 breaks, it is certainly a big problem, but not impossible to solve, as shown by the youtuber. We need to remove the side grille, as shown in the video, pulling it outwards and upwards at the same time from both sides. From these two holes, we can enter with our hands: we start from the right, where we have the latch. We need to pull the lever - as shown in the video. To release the spring. Once this is done, lean on the hood, pushing down against the pressure of the spring. Put your hand inside, push the lever and release the pressure. Then do the same on the other side and we can open it. The problem is largely caused by the fact that the stops are never adjusted or lubricated.
