If all else fails, consider seeking professional assistance to avoid damaging the vehicle.

If that doesn't work, you may need to access the bonnet latch from underneath the vehicle by using a flat tool to manipulate the latch mechanism. Alternatively, you can consult a professional locksmith or mechanic for assistance to avoid damaging the vehicle. Always ensure you have the right to access the vehicle before attempting any method.
