Hi, hope someone can help.
I opened the hood of my '99 156 TS, and now it will not close.

Has anyone else had this problem ?

Any advice welcome

Try driving backwards


Hope someone can give you sensible advice!!

Apart from pushing the release handle back in or messing with the bonnet catch cant think of anything that could go wrong.

Heard of them sticking down (had this myself) but never open!

Hi,

Had the same problem on my buddy's 155. For some reason the thing kinda "got loose". Don't know why, don't know how but here's an idea: Look at the area around the bolts of the hinges. If you see some bare or scraped metal, that indicates where it used to be. Just get a friend to come over and loosen the bolts, realign with the paint as a guide and tighten the bolts firm. Worked for me!
