My son just bought a '67 Bug, and the seller couldn't open the bonnet. He said it would take two people to open it as the cable or locking mechanism was not adjusted properly. One person was to pull the knob on the dash while another lifted on the bonnet handle. The seller pulled on the knob until the cable evidently came off of the locking mechanism, and the bonnet never showed any signs of coming close to opening. What is going to be the best way to open this bonnet. The seller showed me an access hole underneath the vehicle at the back of the storage area, which is maybe 21/2" in diameter.
