Thanks Dave
Did try it with both front and back fixings released, but still a problem. Will exercise my fingers for strength!
Phil did show me the tommy bar insert on his 'tool'. I may measure the fastener and draw up my own tool and see if I can get it made as a project for one of the engineering students at my old college (just retired but I still have a bit of a say there)
Yes I like the hood cover and made me sweat fitting it on Sunday.
It is the easy fit hood so will try the tonneau to see what it looks like
