I must confess that my hood has been stowed for about a year. last time I tested it for fit, it went up with no bother. Today I thought I'd better do the annual check, so removed the cover, and my other fripparies, and put it up. The screen header was a shade tight, but went on OK. But for the first time I couldn't locate the rear bonnet catches. So I had to resort to a fan heater in the cockpit until the mohair and rear screen had softened up a bit. I'm also aware that the S1 Roadster has a weak rear frame which can break, so I'm careful when persuading it to catch. Serves me right I suppose.
