I’ve never had a problem with my hood, but this does remind me of a story I heard from a customer with a seven. He was caught out in the rain, quickly stopped and pulled on the hood and off he went again. A few minutes later as he got up to speed the hood was ripped off and through his mirror, he watched it splat against the grill of the lorry behind. He then had to deal with the indignity of watching the lorry carry on going, hood plastered to the grill, as he stopped! Fortunately, I believe the hood dislodged itself further down the road and he was able to retrieve it. A great story but I think it gave him a bit of a shock at the time.
