The last iteration of the 4 seater hood and frame mechanism can be a right performance to put up or take down, almost impossible on your own and so easy to damage the side screens etc. But a great looking car with either the hood up or with just side screens on.

My wife and I have had two attempts since Christmas without any success. The hood seems to be at least 2 inches too small all around. As usual, it will have to wait for the warmer weather!

If its an everflex hood, maybe warming it in the oven or airing cupboard may make it more pliable and stretch, always a pain putting those hoods on in the cold or wet.

I made myself some hood release levers (like the two seaters). Makes it much easier now.
