Default Bleedin' radiators

I have some radiators that don't have a place to put a radiator key to
bleed them. They are single panel but the top is sort of "rolled over"
and there is no valve to open.
One is cold at the top - I would normally just let the air out - can
anyone advise how I can fix it?

Thanks

Sam

Look on the back of the top of the radiator near each end. You should
find an 'ole, poss. covered by a plastic plug which you can get out
with yout thumbnail. There's a bleed screw in there.

Are you sure there isn't a bleed screw on the back of the radiator at the
top. Some of mine are here instead of the normal place at the ends.
