Probably the most weak point of the easy hood is the rear contact to the side window frame. The round reinforcement must remain flexible for folding the hood. Hence, it does not seal sufficiently and also causes aerodynamic noise (see photos).





A piece of plastic edge protection (or similar) imposed provides the necessary stiffness.









However, for folding the hood, the plastics must be removed.

Another point are the "donkey's ears" at the front (see photo) - unaesthetic, causing noise and probably also letting more rain inside than necessary.



Two bonded strong neodyme magnets keep the hood edges in their place. Opening the door, they easy "slide" by side. However, after entering the car, the magnets must be joined manually.
