But beware - if you try to lower the hood without releasing the Tenax fastener it can easily snap resulting in the stud needing to be removed from the rest of the car - not easy, and not cheap!

BHM have a very nice little tool to help the Tenax being removed - useful for those whose fingers are showing their age. It is not particularly cheap - but a lot cheaper than having the remains of the stud being removed!

I keep one on my keys as a reminder.
