If it's and Old Beetle, it's in the glove compartment on the left side. Should be a handle. If not then hopfully you can see the cable and use a pair of piers and pull on it. Buy a Bently manual for your year bug. It will have directions on how to open it if your cable is broken. NOT FUN..
where is the hood release handle for a 1998 new beetle
To open the hood on the 2000 Beetle if the hood release lever is broken inside the car, you can remove the glove compartment of the vehicle and find the release cable inside the dashboard. Pull the cable to open the hood. You will then need to replace the hood release lever.?æ

"pop" the hood with the in car lever. get a pair of pliars and grab the wire that the plastic hood release was connected to.....this should work!

Take a hacksaw and cut the hood handle in half. Rotate the two halves until the hood opens.
The inside hood release is in the lower dash near the steering wheel column and the auxilary hood release is under the front edge of the hood at the center
On the 98 model, the release is on the side wall by the brake. When it is pulled another release comes out from under the hood. Pull that one towards you and the hood is relased.
Cutting the outside hood handle in half and spinning the handle sections around will open them up.
Yes, there is a lever on the left side of the inside of the glove box.
