Ford Focus mk2 bonnet won’t Open- How to open without Damaging the front Grill 

Honestly I don’t understand why ford can’t just make cars like normal people. Other cars has a latch that you’ll pull in the car this is just horrible.

Thanks so much, someone had hit our car and it made the hood opening mechanism stop working. We are very thankful as now we were able to open the hood without taking the front pieces off. After trying many RU-vid videos this was the only one that worked.

I've had this fail on me several times, replacing each time with a cheap Ebay Chinese piece of cr*p. They're useless breaking again after months. Go to a breaker and get a genuine Ford one. On a positive note, I believe the original engineer that designed this monstrosity was taken out & shot - every cloud, eh? 🤣

You're brilliant. The only one who knows what to do. All others on RU-vid don't know how locks work and damage everything on a complicated way. Saved my live. Needed to refill oil urgently. Thank you so much👍👍👍

Absolute legend. Thanks for the quick to the point video 💪🏼

The best man 👍👍👍

Mate, thanks for this, all others telling us to smash things off with a hammer, then you come along - legend.

I have a third party lock and I still can’t get in. The barrel looks to be just moving and not actually turning the lock…. And I’m out of coolant as it’s been leaking. To garage I go 😢

You're doing a public service man! My st2 latch is numb, only opens half way mostly. I'm gonna keep a 500mm driver in the car now until I get it replaced 👊.

Thanks

Ive tried this but the barell still spins without catching. Any idea?

Thanks for this, really helpful video! Does it have to be a cross head or since you are just pushing it can be anything?

Thank you sooo much. You save a major hassle for me. Just to be clear, yoi must use cross/pointing head screwdriver like in the video. Thx again!

fantastic what a great video perfect sir thank you for your time saved me messing

I wish I came across this before trying the other method

That's brilliant, thank you 👍

I have the same problem with my Ford Mondeo 2006? Do you think it is the same with the Ford Mondeo 2006

Nice one chum:)) 👍

Great idea thank you

The best man 👍👍👍

Gem! Well done mate👍

Where did you get the new catch from?

Thanks from La Rochelle, France, that was very helpful!

Push down on bonnet, turn key, your welcome 🤗
