How can I open the hood when the wire is broken?

This is a specific answer for a Saab 900 Model Year 1994-1998 but applies to other variants as well.

1. Use a long screw driver or a strong iron wire with a hook at the end

2. Put the screwdriver/iron wire through the grill so you can reach and open the hood lock

3. We recommend that you practice on another but same type of car, with hood opened
