I stuck some light brows on my car the other day and since I haven't been able to pop the bonnet without the aid of somebody pushing firmly on it so I'm assuming that the brows are pushing the bonnet up a bit so that it can't pop open normally.

I don't wanna remove the brows, but hows the best way to sort this? Would I have to tighten the cable going to the bonnet poper? if so how would I go about doing this?

BTW its a phase 1 Corsa B if this helps.....

Sounds like you've used too thick a layer of bonding! Try refitting them!
You could also unscrew the bonnet lock-pin a bit to gain more space between lights and bonnet, but wouldn't recommend this...!

somebody else has said to do this, also been recomended to spray it with a shit load of WD40 cuz it may have gotten a bit stiff. I've got another corsa sat on my drive way which is ment to be getting picked up for scrap soon, so I'll try swapping the catches around and see if it makes any difference.
