Not sure if this is the right place to post.

Issue is that the bonnet is stuck shut. So far tried having someone bounce on it as I pulled the opener from inside No luck.

Only other suggestions I can find are pulling the cable with mole grips or getting under the car.

Any ideas?

Thanks folks.

Mole grips not needed. Bouncing worked :-)

Bit late now but 1 trick if you don't have a helper is to pull the catch and bang your hand on the corner above the hinge.That sometimes works
