Made total sense..... Thanks.
Easy up sounds the way to go. I'm viewing the hood as an 'emergency get you home' device in any event.
It sounds, from my noodling in these parts, that the hoods shouldn't be left up when the car is garaged.... Strain on windscreen frame maybe?
I had heard that the car should be garaged with the hood up, so that it is kept in tension and doesn't shrink.
