  The hood goes down much easier if done right!!!
  
  I would have a go at sticking to my guns initially, if nothing else you could demand a new window be welded in.
  
  My welded windows have failed after about 6 years of intermittant use, and I always fold right so to speak, so I will be looking for stitched windows next time.

    Wrapping it in a towel? Where did he get that from? Methinks he's talking through his rubber doughnut. If this was the case eBay would be full of genuine NOS Triumph hood towels. If the hood doesn't perform as intended then it's defective, unless it originally came with a towel and a full set of instructions as to how to use it which you didn't adhere to.
    Go back and complain, in which case he'll probably give you a towel to wipe the seats when the rain comes in through the split window seam..
    By the way - what exactly IS that lying in your Spit? I'm still trying to work out if it's inflatable...

      I'm trying to figure out how and what part you would wrap in a towel... and why for that matter!
      
      That's a task for when I get home from the pub
      
      Maybe a prize next year at Stafford for the most ingenious hood/towel combination

        Hi Ian,
        I wouldn't worry about the towel at the moment!!!!
        
        More concerned about your UJS!!!!!!!
        
        After all they they didn't even make it to Stafford!!!
        
        Or perhaps you could wrap the towel round them instead!!!!
        
        Tongue in cheek!!!

        you lay the towel over the back window before you fold the two 'wings' that contain teh read quarter windows over it. Stops the rear window getting scratched. Thought everybody did it.

          I much prefer your ripped rear quarter window/golfing unbrella approach

      Methinks it's time to have a girly tantrum (in a cool and controlled kind of a way) and get a new hood delivered - afterall, they don't come with instructions...
      
      Unlike my inflatable sister...
      
      (who would be mortified if she read this!)

        Or a bit deflated?

          Are these entirely appropriate comments about inflatables/sisters/towels with a title of 'the right way to go topless'? - am I missing something? ref pic of spit in the field - is she - isn't she?
