Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - nipple for the hood

My first problem with my PlusFour ... ... so I have a Morgan
The nipple for the hood is broken. I think that is a rivet.
Has anyone here ever had such a problem ?

Before



After

One week ago I returned from a short stay in Malvern with my eldest son. Unpacking the PlusFour at home I found the Tenax at the offside loose and the nipple broken, just 2 or 3 mm inside the car. I always loosen the Tenax before opening the roof and even before opening the rear for package. I was driving alone from Hoek van Holland because I dropped my son at Stansted the evening before as he lives and works in Goteborg. So why?? I don't know. The dealer fixed it with some other things that were already planned to do, just 10 km before I did arrive at the dealers place, my middle wiper blade became loose of the window but fortunately wasn't completely loose. They fixed that too! On inspection the nipple seemed brass to me, certainly not stainless steel. Everything was sorted out, the Tenax problem was well known by the dealer. I hope it is SS now, they send me a picture of the new nipple mounted and one with the roof down. Did not has the time to collect the PlusFour, used the old 4/4 instead, luckily I had to display my 4/4 on our MSCCH stand for 3 days at Wheels at Marienwaerdt (former Wheels at the Palace), which was a success too! Next week I collect the PlusFour and put the 4/4 in its garage. Driving the 4/4 for more than 500 km the past week was nice, but now I am aware why we bought the PlusFour last year. The difference in comfort is huge, and the character of the 4/4 is huge too!

I'll post two Wheels at Marienwaerdt pictures too!
