Of interest may be a straightforward aluminium strut and locating peg I have fabricated to keep the Easy-Up hood in the up position while loading the parcel shelf or undertaking maintenance beneath. Utilises existing tapped holes for the hood frame. Strut rotates rearwards to permit the hood to close. Materials: 6mm and 10mm thick aluminium sheet, stainless bolts from Screwfix, threadlock and washers. Tools required: hacksaw, drills, abrasive paper and polish. ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2020/01/25/IMG_1887.jpg)

[quote= to keep the Easy-Up hood in the up position while loading the parcel shelf or undertaking maintenance beneath quote] That is what 'Er-indoors is for I believe.

Chris, clever stuff, I may have a go at one
At the moment, I just use a length of 21mm plastic overflow pipe with a bit of rubber hose as end protectors

Nice workmanship. Don’t wish to be critical but would it be improved if it was more of a latching mechanism? I say this because when I use my simple home made prop with the hood folded, , several times I have nudged it with my elbow whilst getting luggage out and the whole hood then rotates forward with some gusto, and flops into the front seats.
