Hi, I'm wondering if anyone can advise here.
If your bonnet latch inside the car isn't working(cable is stretched too far)is there any other way of getting the bonnet open?
Cheers.

I see, will try when it comes to it.
What actually happened was 2 weeks ago the catch didn't close properly after having the bonnet open and the bonnet flew up and cracked my windscreen, bonnet is all dented, me and friend managed to get the bonnet back down despite it resting a few inches above it's normal location..
Just assessing still whether I'll replace the bonnet, bonnet catch, windscreen cowl and windscreen or bin it.
Just needed to know if it was actually possible to get it open should I wish to change it all.
Cheers!

Guess I got off lightly in comparison!
Any ideas on the average price of windscreen replacement?(Not going through insurance)
