Hood wire snap... what to do?

Post by rasb1 »

Hi Guys...

Soooo, I haven't actually opened the hood of my E21 in about 1½ months because the wire snapped!!!!
What to do... any easy ways of popping the hood?
And yes, I have checked that it isn't just the handle in the cabin that broke :lol:


With best regards

Is it not possible to reach between the frontgrill with a screwdriver?
