CX and whilst it's still a Morgan and things become loose and so on, My mother only found the confidence to drive my fathers nicier cars after I got to drive them with my father sitting beside me, well before I got the age to pass the driving test. So on one of her first ventures out in the Morgan (early 80ties 4/4 4seater) she broke down. A mechanic passing by could help her quiet easily and off she went. Coming home and telling me the story she said: "But the mechanic told me you have to check certain screws because things tend to fall off Morgans." This was in +/- 1989...

Thanks John for the great pictures. I'm glad that your PlusFour didn't have any major problems on the first big trip 😀

John, that tenax is a known weak spot. When one of mine snapped ( they are chromed brass ) I replaced it with a 2-screw version , stainless wood screws and a thin clear gasket. It is possible to drill the broken thread section out but I didn't. REMEMBER.....your hood routine must start and end by releasing the tenax fasteners for raising, lowering or just lifting the rear ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2024/09/19/IMG_0014.jpeg) Have you found out what happens with these double screw versions if you forget to release the Tenax fasteners prior to working the roof mechanism? Hopefully they will take the strain but I'm wondering if they will rip out of the bodywork causing even more damage than the originals or, equally as bad, rip the hood fabric?
