I have ordered a new hood "strictly made as original" for my Griffith to a British company.

Unfortunately, the hood does not fit properly at all on my Griffith.

Actually immediately upon reception of the material, I have instructed one of the most skilled trimmer in Belgium to replace my existing genuine but worn out TVR Griffith hood by yours.

The result is unfortunately a catastrophe. The top section does not longer fit with the supplied hood, and the plastic window of the hood is too wide and too thick to insert well when the rear section is folded.

It also seems that this hood is too tight for my car.

I came to the conclusion there must be a mistake in the delivery when, I realized by placing my old hood material above the supplied hood, that there is a difference in measurements of both the hood and the plastic window between my original genuine TVR Griffith hood and the new one.

Furthermore the shape of the plastic window is also different.

Is the model and shape of the Chimaera hood for example different ? At first sight, the hoods look the same, but in fact, there are different

Which is the thickness of the flexible ?

Many thanks in advance for your help.

THanks for your advice.

If you have the measurements of the plastic window as well its thickness, it would be useful for me.
