Hood Fitting Etc.

[kdavies3]

OK guys and gals,

Having now bought my hood and tonneau cover etc.
It's now time to fit it.

Does anyone have a good diagram showing the best recommended stud positions, ferrules etc?

How do the over-centre catches fit? anyone got a good clear picture please?

I read in a previous post that it's essential to fit a centre windscreen stay if a hood is fitted is this correct?

Basics as I understand them, fit it in the warm, start from the back and glue the material to the windscreen bow last?

I must get it fitted before Stoneleigh in case as normal on a bank holidat it pi**es down.

Thanks gang.

Hi Kev.
If i can remember i'll take some pics of studs and the like as i have a car that is about to be delivered that has a hood.
You will need the centre stay if you wish to drive with the hood fitted and the side screens removed cos the draft will cause the hood to try and pull the top rail off the screen, not a problem if you always use the side screens when the hood is fitted.


Buy your self a roll of duck tape, it's brilliant as a second or third pair of hands........................Trust me you'll need them.
