How to open the trunk, when the cable is torn?

[Sidaries]

I think the thread name says everything. On a Delorean (VIN5390) the inner hood cable is torn and we cannot open the trunk, which means fueling is impossible. How can we open it?

If it is broke at the handle under the dash you may be able to get a vice grips on the inner cable. All depends on where the cable is broke.

It looks to me like at the beginning of the video the hood is already popped.

coat hanger works too, though I have a gas flap hood, and that helped greatly...

Remember on the old DMCTalk where we practically explained to a guy how to hot-wire his D from the relay compartment?

Better was bang on the wheel well and pop the door locks. Sets off the impact sensor.

Wouldn't the thief have to find a Delorean first?
