How Do I open The Fronyt Hood On a 1970 Type 1 VW Beetle

Like The subject Line asks how do you get the dang thing open? for some reason the button isn’t engaging in the locking mechanism, thus the front hood won’t open anybody have any tricks or tips to get the darn thing open without totally destroying everything?:smack: :confused:

Is the button for the secondary release, with the primary release lever in the glovebox?

Thank you very much we didn’t relize there was a release in the glove box. Again Thank you!
