Hi all, recently when driving with the hood up and no sidescreens on, and at higher speeds, the catches that hold the rear of the hood down have given up holding the rear of the hood down (it was definitely 'slammed' down and held properly when we set off!). I think because of the air pressure being blown in with no sidecreens.
Is there adjustment on these does anyone know?
And where's best to access it - spare wheel out and from in there, or from behind the seats?
Thanks
John

When I adjusted mine, I found it helped to drop an appropriate size dowel into both sides to hold the catches back. This gave a bit of slack to make adjusting the cable through the seat belt slot easier. Well done Doug as it is fiddly.
