Re: Laguna bonnet release

This is a known problem on Lagunas apparently. When it fails completely and
the bonnet won't open at all, it can be expensive to fix, so fix it while
you still can. Some people have claimed it helps if you get a friend to
selectively push down on various parts of the lid while you pull, perhaps
trying to disengage the two catches one at a time.

It might be necessary to change the cable if it has become stretched, but
simply cleaning out and lubricating the catches often seems to help. They
work a bit like car door catches, and their operation should be obvious once
all the crud has been wiped away.
