Thank you for this video. This just happened to my dad's 01 X5. I wasted an hour trying different things. Finally came across this video. What a nightmare. I've replaced just about everything on that truck. I'm glad I got rid of my e46.

You rock dude!! The trick of pulling the passenger cable is soooo awesome. Thank you!!!

[@CharlieMoore-cn8xo]

I watched this video . 10 minutes later I got my hood to latch. Thanks!

[@Meragel]

Very interesting who the people who dislike it?!? Very good and properly described. Thanks a lot!

Hello Nathan, Thank You and YOU Saved My LIFE ! Excellent Advice and God Bless you . You Have great knowledge !

[@davidseawell7106]

I watched the video over again how do you get the driver's side to pop open how do you get your fingers back there or how do you get your hands back there it's easy when you have that latch in your hands but how do you get your hands in the back there to unlock the driver side why don't you show that video

[@SpawnerRappelz]

Very good explanation. Having the latch to help show what to do was a nice extra.

[@kingsconsultingcarrepair2884]

Thank you... video saved me

[@BDG_98xo]

Ok and what if the hood is closed from the outside and the cable is broken also from the inside

[@pliedtka]

On some the latch cables corrode and there's isn't enough tension to open the latch when the cable is pulled. I replaced latches and both cables. And of course the release arms were stuck - took a lot of penetrating fluid to free them. All this because the damn hood opened and broke windshield after servicing the engine - shaise.

Hello Nathan, I appreciate your videos. I’ve learned a lot from watching them. I have a 2001 BMW 530i E39. My cable broke at the handle inside the car and there’s no cable remaining to grab and pull. I took the driver kidney grill out and tried to open the driver side latch using a key which was from another video I seen on TH-cam. I had no results from that. Can you please explain how to open the latch from the bottom of the driver side latch with a screwdriver? I have the passenger side open but the driver side has been a headache.

[@sviru007]

same thing did you success?

[@fonzietruckinginc3083]

Your video helped me, thanks a bunch. 👍✌️

[@cindyalicea3381]

I have a 2011 bmw 328i where the hood doesn't open I got the left n middle open but can't get the right side open I need help

[@jaciobe]

@Nathans BMW Workshop my lever that pops out of the grill snapped off. How do I open it?

[@isaiahgibson8130]

I found a easy way 2 get it open only takes a few minutes.... and a flat head screwdriver

[@wickedcity5762]

Please elaborate on that concept

[@sviru007]

thnx man :)

[@soniac6733]

Thanks but do u have a video on how to remove latches and locks

[@bobvansand6346]

Hi nathan, my bmw is e 36...fixed it , using yr tip! Can u also make video how to install new cable? I managed to do so...but it was not easy....guess ye have to unbolt the metal in which the lashes lie? ...

[@touring4973]

Thanks! a Lot!!

[@101112bella]

I’ve tried everything. My cables for the the left side are broken and so is the cable that runs to the inside of my car. I can’t open it at all. I have all the stuff to completely fix it, but I can’t get in it to fix it.....

[@sterlingwitherspoon5709]

thanks i currently have the same issue bro

[@gmhzepeda]

bad video it's always open

[@robertbaskin8978]

Great video. Still stuck on the right side. wkyp. smh

[@peterlambert4701]

Some good info. but very boring ..

[@TrollBot-dv1rk]

Left my $%#$%^n breaker bar on the hood latch and sprung the hood. FAAAAAACK!!!

[@kimcole2865]

My latch broke off & the hood is jammed 😮‍💨

[@tylervision707maul]

took me four days to get the left latch open, right latch still wont open... left latch took pliers to broken cable from inside the drivers side of car, machete under the hood, pulled on cable after removing grill,, used a knife to slide left side, used handle release from front of car.. I dont know what worked but finally the left side seems to be up a inch or so, now the right one.. could take four more days

[@davidseawell7106]

The video is really of no help because the driver side lock how do you open it if it's locked if the hood is locked how do you get your hands back there to unlock that

[@Jsaiis]

Thank you sir great video keep up the good work 🙂

[@BDG_98xo]
