Hi all,
I had a new cloth hood fitted recently (Nov) at the esteemed Jack Smith Trimmers in Swansea. However, over the last few weeks I've noticed white marks have appeared inside the hood (directly above driver and passenger and at the rear, in the direction of the rear arches, also inside). They look kind of like sweat-marks if that makes sense! I'me sure it must be due to the salt on the roads at the moment; I just didn't expect to see marks inside! Should I have treated the hood before winter? Also, what's the best way to remove the marks and prevent it happening again?
Cheers,
Craig.

Not easily - it's not mould-looking though and there is no smell.

Hi Phil,


They (JS) didn't really make a distinction between cloth and mohair when I took mine there. I paid £260, which included taking the heated glass window from the old one and putting into the new hood. Excellent job.
