Hood Webbing

Inspired by HJ2's post, I replaced the hood webbing recently.

I did it slightly differently. A couple of tips as well

- protect the hood when you remove the rivets from the header rail. You will be removing the back of the rivet, this butchered the rail a bit (I was too lazy to get out the Dremel) No matter, just drill a couple of fresh holes

- I couldn't for the life of me get my rivet gun in place to fix the webbing to the intermediate rails so I sewed the webbing either side of the rail

Fresh velcro-style trim with self adhesive backing was very cheap (and sticky) off Amazon


Will add pics later, when I'm remember how to do it

Before : complaints from passengers
