Anyone know if these are available as spare-parts? Mine have crumbled and torn to the point of ineffectivity.

Nah.... knew this had potential to go wrong. It's not THEM flappy bits, it's the little rubber widgets that seem to go between the hood fabric and the car bodywork (ie just above the velcro) Think the idea is they act like a flashing to channel water outside the car. I know what I mean anyway

Nope...warmer but not quite. They're behind that bit and run longitudinally along top of velcro strip on inside of hood...mine used to partially obscure/impede the velcro bonded to the car (I always thought it was a particularly crappy design). I'll try and snap a photo or two myself if that description doesn't do the trick

Can I jump on the bandwagon please Al, if you have any spare material left? If not, can I ask where you sourced the stuff? Also, anyone know what is best to stick the blighters on....Evostick?
