I'd done the same thing fitting a new (used) grille and hadn't realised I'd trapped the release strap. I was a whole afternoon trying to open it'. None of the other vids helped at all, some even suggesting I smashed a hole in the grille. Yours was so simple and straightforward I opened the bonnet first time. Thank you so much.

Dude, perfect! The realiser was completely broken, but we followed your video and fixed it within one minute. Thank you!

This is a fantastic video, it really saved me today. I fashioned the tool from bits available at a local toolstation, and was able to open my bonnet! Thank you so much.

THANK YOU, the plastic tab managed to break off and I had no idea how to open the hood!

i have a 2013 Ford Figo which is the Fiesta rebadged, I ended up with the same plastic tab in my hand, thank you so much, you saved me alot of trouble.

Thaaaaaanks so much!!! Bent a metal kebab skewer and it worked a treat

I agree with others, best video to help with my problem (release tab broke off, drilled a new hole and reattached it). Thank you very much!

Love the people on KZfaq and these how to uploads thank you very much 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Thank god for your video. I got worried because as soon that clip got loose and went out, my headlight went out and i didnt know if it could get fixed without driving to some mechanic and paying for work that was unnessecary.
