914World.com _ 914World Garage _ how do I open the front trunk?
Posted by: Mitch 914 Jun 10 2011, 05:21 PM
stupid I know, I pull the inside cable, trunk pops up but what else do I have to do to release it?

Did it pop up 1 inch when you pulled the cable?
If so, it has a secondary latch like all cars in the front.
If it wont pop up at all, try having someone push down on it while you try to pull the cable.
If THAT does not work, the cable is broken or stuck, and you have to remove the front bumper. You will find a hole that you can access the latch with a screwdriver.

Directly in the center of the hood there is a latch.

How 'bout you grab a flashlight, turn it on, and get down there and look at it? It's a little "paddle" thingy just under the lip of the hood, and you lift on it. Might have to give the hood a gently up-and-down wiggle to get it to come free.

Not much unlike unhooking a Bra, the first time you have to peek..

Just grab the front of the hood and squeeze the latch to open!

With practice, you can do it with one hand.
