you don't on your own
the dealer could do it
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
HOW DO I OPEN HOOD ON CAR WHEN CABLE IS BROKEN
how to open hood with a broken cable on a 1994 ford explorer
dodge truck broken hood latch
If the cable isn't broken then you shouldn't have any issues opening the hood...
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..
you get the cable fixed then open it

If the hood cable is broken on a Geo Prizm, the only option is to open the hood from underneath the vehicle. It is best to put the car up on a hoist and use a pole to trip the hood latch.
If the cable release is broken for the hood on a 2002 Kia Spectra, a person could crawl under the car and see if they can locate the broken part of the cable. If it is still attached to the hood, they could pull it to trip the hood latch. Otherwise, the car will have to be put on a hoist, and a long pole used to trip the hood latch.
If it is just the plastic handle broken, behind that is the cable that opens the hood. Just grab the cable with a pair of pliers and pull. You can probably just replace the inside handle and not have to run a new cable.
