Question Stuck engine lid...'89 930

Pull the handle to release the engine lid....handle comes out some, but the lid does not pop open?!?!?!

How to access it?? Do the cables stretch or snap??

Thanks

do a search on the pelican parts 911 forum , this topic has recently been dealt with there . One thing you could try quickly is to get another person to pull the handle and then press down on the lid and slightly forward , if you are lucky it might pop open . I had the scenario recently of my lid popping open whilst driving , it was cured by tightening that weird bottle top like nut on the adjuster , it had come loose.
