| Re: Why oh why Sure nothing is in the way? Left a bolt / screw / tool in the way somewhere, maybe on top of a headlight. I know whenever I do stuff, I always leave bits there sometimes. I would go out with a torch and just check right around the seal and where the bonnet sits. None of your prior work should affect it. Alternatively, as mine does.... sometimes the bonnet release handle does not fully go back when you pop the bonnet. See if you can get the handle back into the normal position, pointing straight down. If you find it sat angled outwards when you get back to the car, you know this is it.

If this is the case, I bet it is the catch release handle. It's quite common for it to get sticky. I just now remember to pull it to release AND push it back down again.
