Attn: those who have used carhoodwarehouse
I had a new mohair roof fitted a few months ago. I don't know if it is because it has stretched but the window is banging on the roll bar which is very irritating 
I also got rather annoyed yesterday when I came to put on the tonneau to find that the glass window sits on two inner clasps so I couldn't put it on. However after looking at Muttly's roof it appears this is what the Honda glass roof is like but the newer cars do not have the same clips so I can probably do something about this.
Just wondered if anyone else that had a new hood has had any problems?

Anyone with a pre 02 and a retrofit glass roof should immediately remove the two central tonneau nipples if not already done so.
Not only do they catch the glass but they will also quickly wear a hole in the fabric. 02 onwards do not have them for this very reason.

That's interesting. My02 car has the two central clips your talking about, but my tonneau cover does not and has the glass rear screen. I did buy the tonneau seperatly, so it's probably from an eariler car.

I am going to ring CHW as I need to get the rattling sorted - I was just interested to know if anyone else had had a problem.
