MkII Cabriolet Hood front fitting

[Hugh Barnes]

Yes, Nigel, that is correct. If I have imagined this correctly, there is a 'flap' that hangs down from the front of the hood itself, that runs across the front of the car. The flap is actually a 'pocket' into which slips a piece of shaped metal (spring steel perhaps, so it flattens out when the hood rolls up) I think there will be a little 'rivet' arrangement in the centre of it that engages with a little cut out on the 'tensioning' frame that it all sits in.

It would be very kind if you could check yours and report back...
