Yes, as pointed out earlier, the lever arm of the release mechanism is too short. After Trond Bråthen installed his revised release mechanism on my car, a gentle pull is enough to release the hood.

Not this Trond Bråthen, I suppose? He does seem to have been into heavy metal, however...

No heavy metal, as far as I know. I refer to Trond Bråthen at Bråthen Bil.

P.S. I have no affiliation with the company. I am just a satisfied customer.

It's a shocking design Mine now works after two trips back to the dealer by dint of pushing the lever to near breaking point to release the mechanism
