Subject: Stuck Bonnet
I just acquired a 1967 TR4A which I am enjoying very much. This is just about
like the one I learned to drive on in 1963 ( a TR4 of course ).
One annoyance with the car was the bonnet which kept popping open on any but
the tiniest bump. I adjusted the cable release so that the spring loaded catch
would fully engage the locking pin but now I can no longer release the bonnet
at all. Is there a way to access the catch short of prying up the bonnet to the
detriment of the paint, catch and sheetmetal. It seems that the same thing
would happen if the cable broke or became disconnected with the catch engaged.
Since I am new to the list I hope I'm not covering old ground but I don't have
a shop manual yet.
