I've had 2 4/4s with traditional vinyl hoods and I found all the fasteners an absolute pain especially if it was wet or cold, my wife never had the strength in her fingers to undo the fasteners. ,
..Now I have a full easy up hood and although it may not be as aesthetically pleasing as the traditional hood I prefer it for its relative ease, so much so my wife can do the hood herself .

John, how does she get on with removing the wheels , and greasing the kingpins?
Sadly she has a blind spot when it comes to those very practical applications no matter how many times I explain what to do, very vocally supportive from a very calculated distance away...normally its 'here's your cup of tea, why are you doing that again?'
She's even pinched my Merc Cabriolet as it has heated electric memory seats......all she has to do is .just press a button and everything resets to her but had the cheek to complain about about the electric hood switch requires some pressure to operate.......life is hard for some from time to time. In fairness to her the Merc sits in the garage for weeks on end not being used, so I console myself with the fact she is doing me and the Merc a favour.
