My sequence is to fit qll rear fasteners first then pull the hoof over the frame which is held in place withy pivots set to lower it. Then fit yhte fron fastebers starting in the middle and working out to one side then the other, keeping the inner flap INSIDE the top of the screen.Last job is tension the hood by raising the pivot levers. I am starting to look for some form of starp system to hold the hood to the frame so that the hood can be raised and lowered easier if needed to . Not a permanent fixing - just temporary so the hood can be raised/owered to suit as a journey goes on. Velcro type loops seem a possible first attempt. These could be fastened once the hood has been fitted first rime as I don't want them ;weft too ;opng with a folded down hood in case of rear plastic window creasing etc.. I must remember to use beeswax on the hood seams too!
