Unhappy Mercedes c320 hood release broken :(
I just got my new bulbs for my c320, my excitement quickly vanished as the handle within the grill broke. I would love to know how to open the hood just for now. However i would greatly appreciate if someone would link me to a DIY way to replace the handle. I know the parts shouldnt be too much money. I hope i can do this without going to the dealership.

Thanks

Cool GOT IT
I finally managed to open the hood using a thick bent wire to pull the thing the handle was attached to. And the installation looks fairly easy, thanks anyways!

I have the same problem, pulled a little too hard on the hood release and snapped it. Can you tell me how to replace the release lever?
