    Please use the search function!
    Try getting a mate to put pressure on the front of the bonnet while you pull the lever.

    Wile pulling the Lever.. Tap (Like a hard bang) your bonnet where the Right Strut tower sits

    Yep, Dumster has it.

    1) Window down.
    2) pull bonnet catch inside car with left hand
    3) right hand is free to bash on the closest corner of the bonnet.
    4) watch as the bonnet pops up.
