Hi there,
The bonnet on my z3 roadster (97 2.8)- keeps popping and then is very difficult to shut again. I try screwing in or out the spring pegs which eventually get the bonnet shut but it's now continually popping when driving.
Any suggestions out there?
Many thanks.
David.

Re: Bonnet keeps popping
Must be the locking latch not engaging fully when closed, check out the release cable it may be dry and sticking so the latch isn't engaging fully to hold it shut.

cheers, i did look at that first and the latch seems to move with a bit of spring to it.
i'll give it another look and try greasing the cable some more

Re: Bonnet keeps popping
If anything will make the cable stick, it's grease.........
WD40, graphite powder, light oil are beter options.
Or, a new cable

If it ain't broke, don't fix it
