Bought myself a new hood from ebay a while back, its a coupe one, that slopes back, only trouble is i cant get the back poppers done up lol on the corners at the back, its the last two that are grief, as much as i pull i cant get them to reach lol, now is there a trick to fitting a new hood, would taking the padding from around the rollbar help? or maybe taking the supports fromt he front screen out and trying to pull screen back to allow it to reach then stretch it, im a bit stuck what to do lol if anyones had grief like this before and knows a solution, please give me a shout thanks

leave the hood in the sun and put it on hot and leave it over night because it will cool down and stretch at the same time. I found this works a treat in the past but you need sun for it to work!

What Chris said ....and like lewis ....in the past I've poured buckets of very hot water over it to get it stretched.
