Bob's right, the theory is that you put the hood on with the levers in the relaxed position and then swivel them into position.

The slight wrinkle (no pun intended) is that as they go over centre they stretch the hood even more than normal and that can lead to problems too. The Morgan windscreen mounts are pretty flimsy affairs at the best of times, and the tension of a hood places additional stress on them.
