Since 2025 they are fitted again directly on the cars, so I did hope that that could mean less strain on the Tenaxes on the recently build Morgan!🙏🏻

Hello Ruut,

I have a 2025 PlusFour (built in November) and thus one where the hood fitting was directly on the car. This might explain why the Tenax positions on both sides of the body (or the position of the Tenax female component in the hood flap) lead to insufficient tension in the hood section where it faces onto the rear of the sidescreen, leading to large gaps. Large enough that the dealer noted it on handover and has been in contact with MMC (no reply yet). I am concerned that in windy conditions, rain will directly enter the cabin through these and trying interim fixes.

In all other aspects the car has been superb so far. Royal Ivory, Stainless Wire Wheels, Sports Pack, Touring Pack.

Regards, Guy
