Bonnet Keeps Opening

Hi My 2004 Boxster has just developed an issue where the Front bonnet keeps popping up. Started when I was driving home after filling the car up. I had to open the bonnet to get something out, then a mile down the road the bonnet popped. Did it on the drive when I moved it, now if I lock the car with the Remote, then unlock it the bonnet pops as well. Tried both keys, removed the electrics from the key so I hit the right button. still pops the bonnet. Any clues ??? Thanks In advance
 
Dampness in you bonnet release switch or its sticky. Try actuating it a few times. Cured my 996.
 
Genius the button inside the car was stuck in the up position. silly but I did not think to look as I had used the remote.
thanks a million.

You're welcome kind sir.
 
Glad you found it was just the button sticking.

For reference I had this happen and it was a faulty solenoid causing mine to keep opening. I though I was going mad knowing I shut the bonnet only for the light to come on and bonnet pop 100m down the road.
