Agreed Simmonds make good hoods but at high prices.

Yes Dave, so, my hood is giving up at the 2 dot Fasteners at the sides, just behind the doors and also at seams on the flaps above the sidescreens. The pull button on the dot fasteners tends to "disappear" into the PVC and is difficult to unfasten. Other than that I think you might have persuaded me to stick with it. I've done an inner tube puncture repair job on one of the little splits at the seams, on the inside of the hood,probably cost me points in concours situation🤐 Those press stud fittings can pop loose. My hood was a very tight fit on one side, it appeared when being fitted the popper was fitted slightly out of line. I replaced it with a Tenax.

I'd recommend Steve Summers at Summers Upholstery in Malvern ex factory trim shop, indeed at factory for 43 years
Did the hoods and tonneau on my 4/4 and I am well impressed with them.

I had a replacement ‘Easy-up’ hood fitted at the factory in November 2011.
(I don’t know if they still offer this service)
I chose Everflex for a number of reasons.
The factory did a fabulous job, exactly to my requirements and the hood still looks great.
It was also extremely good value.
