How can I open my bonnet if the lever is broken?

The lever for popping the bonnet has broken. Is there an alternative way?

Hi Anthony,

If you can still see the cable that the lever was affixed to, you may be able to grab it with a pliers and give it a good tug.

Come back to us if that doesn't work and let us know what type of car you are talking about.
