My engine lid would pop open regularly when going around a corner at anything more than low intensity. I tried all of the above to no avail. The above suggestions might work…however, what fixed it for me was an adjustment of the release cable tension. The release mechanism is designed to automatically release if the cable snaps. If the tension is not correct and you hit a curve or corner intensively the mechanism “thinks” the cable has snapped and releases the catch. You may be able to achieve a solution by releasing the locknut on the cable then pulling the cable to take up any slack. Retighten the locknut and test. The key is to have minimal play in the cable tension setting.
