I need to take a peek at your roof, just had a new hood but I'm missing a small rod I think and I need to see what it's like so I can try and bodge one

Manual, I can take a pic but it looks like there is only one of them, it looks like there should be a thin bar sewn into the roof and attached to the webbing straps that run front to back, because it's not there the fabric isn't folding right and I have to manually push it into the right position

Brilliant post mate very helpful, I do have a sock but how did you fix it to the straps be cause mine has been folded incorrectly so often they bend the wrong way!

If you use the search on here to find roof AND straps you will find a lot of posts about this.

Brilliant Ben thanks, got the part number for the wire from RealOEM and just got the last one in the UK from my dealer £15 and they'll have it this afternoon, so hopefully with a bit of crimping I will be in top folding form for the weekend.
