On my 2003 Plus 8 the tennex fasteners seem to work OK, but I'm having great difficulty at the 'other end' i.e where the hood engages with the header rail on the windscreen. Can someone enlighten me on how to adjust the "claws" which seem to have a small locknut and presumably control the tension? Is this type of hood what they call the 'everflex'?
Hi Trevmar
Everflex is the more expensive Fabric the hood is made from and tends to be stiffer than the softer 'vinyl' type.
I dont think the Tenex fasteners are adjustable. I Busted one lifting the hood so have a few spares. The outer body is riveted together and the lock nut just holds the outer to itself (inner).
I fitted my new one using an old Golf Shoe Stud spanner but there are proper tools for the job
