Tuscan Bonnet Removal
Discussion
I've not had an issue with the clips. Can be a pain to line them back up but I've never had an issue getting them off . The lever/cable arrangement for the service bonnet is all attached to the main bonnet. It just pulls a pin out of the trailing edge of the service bonnet to allow you to open it.
Not sure whether you're stuck on the service bonnet or main bonnet. For the latter, here's a photo' of me holding the bonnet (with the ball) up above the socket. The U is the part that moves in and out (towards the outside of the car to release), and it also turns when the ball isn't in place just to make putting the bonnet on properly more challenging. The vantage point of the photo' is from the middle of the bonnet outwards.
(Apologies if you're stuck on the service bonnet).

I can get my finger in one side but not the other, so if SWMBO'd isn't about I use the end of felt tip type pen to push the clip. You may have to push down on the bonnet slightly to relieve the pressure on the clip, then just push the end of the horseshoe shape shown in the pic above out towards the wing.
