|
|
So I uncovered the bimmer after two years and can't open the hood. I searched and found some related threads but nothing that covers not being able to open the hood with the cable or the emergency release in the front.
Seems the mechanism is stuck - rusted perhaps? I turned the screw driver and it stayed stuck open so now the screw driver does nothing, but no open.
I sprayed with WD-40 and tried but got nowhere.
Should I start at the front or under the dash?
Thanks in advance for any input. _________________ 1990 325is

I would have someone push down on the hood while you pull the lever. that might relieve enough pressure on the mechanism to allow it to operate _________________ joe
