I tried all of the methods outlined here today but I still could not get the bonnet open. The catches are just incredibly stiff and will not press down far enough to release. I tried with gloves on and using all the force I could muster and nothing. You need to be Hercules to get them open. I wonder if the dealer can carry out some adjustment, such as filing down the catch on the inside a little - that might give the catches a little more play. I think it could be an alinement issue as Mike suggests or else the springs are too stiff.
