Re: Bonnet alignment.....

["saalexander2000" <stuartalexander@xxxx>]

Hi Nick,

I have the same problem with my bonnet. In my case I think the catch on the 
car is still too high at its lowest setting because each corner will press down to 
be flush with the wings but it is high in the middle. I thought about raising the 
wings to the bonnet level but they are already higher than the doors....

I'd be interested in anyone's ideas

where it is hinged is level with the front of the wing but at the big this now sits 
approx 1cm high. Looking at it it appears the rubber weather seal is too thick 
for me to lower the bonnet further. Is this a design 'feature' of the car and has 
anyone fitted a thinner seal to enable the bonnet to fit better??

through and change using gunsons eezibleed (one of the best gadgets i've 
used on a car).

Does anyone know where you can get just the rubber covers?
