- My model of MX-5 is: __Mk 3
- I’m based near: Leek Staffs
- I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: __
As my hood is very rarely up I have used the small covers that fit over the spaces either side of the folded hood. They have been in place for more than a year now but have taken them off to clean and treat the hood.
Unfortunately they have started to wear the hood where the rivets holding the securing clips rub on the hood. There are also signs of wear on other parts of the hood where it is folded over the door area.
I suspect that this problem may differ car by car depending on how each individual hood folds.
I cannot see what can be done to stop this wear though I have put some tape over the rivets in the hope that it will help.
Am just sending this as a heads up to others who use these covers.
