Do people not bother with these anymore? I've viewed 2 cars this weekend and neither had them from what I can remember they were essential.
As an aside if anyone is considering looking at any T reg ones give me a pm I might save you a trip.

Wasn't the hood slightly redesigned at the bottom so that the cars with the unlocking buttons under the door mirrors didn't need the ears?
Not as far as I'm aware my 97 Chim did so did my 2000 Griff

Elephant ears ??? What are they then !
where the velcro is on the hood there is 'supposed' to be the elephants ears to stop water ingress. I think years ago there was an image/pdf of the exact sizes knocking around, but that was when all this were just trees biggrin

This be those pesky little ears. Dead easy to make, a bit of old inner tube, scissors and super glue and 5 minutes and it's done.
That's them but I made mine longer, front to back, both cars were bone dry.
