Open the bonnet (hood) without using the catch.

[stig rotax]

My catch managed to disconnect itself, leaving me with just a floppy lever. Does anybody have a clue how to open the catch without breaking the car?
Thanks

I had same problem with my catch as they are flimsy but I managed to get the catch to work again and spray loads of wd40 etc over bonnet lock mechanism etc and been fine since….thank god..
