There are two press in clips at the top (windscreen end) , they release the top of the bonnet. Halfway between wiper and edge of bonnet, press them towards the wings.

Thanks for that.

I took a photo of the clips when I took mine off the other day - will post up and send to mytuscan

Much appreciated. Send them over and I'll add them to the site.

Am trying to work out how to remove the bonnet myself - broken wipers!

Cheers,

I find it easier to do than Dean, I can get my little fingers right under the bonnet to push the cylinder bit back so that the round thing pops out. (Hope you know what I mean, have no idea what the bits are called.)Same with popping them back in.

anyone lucky enough to have the factory toolkit in their boot will have a tool designed to pop these clips, which is handy.

A bit O/T but what is teh 'right' way of popping the front bonnet - I've just (carefully) been pulling it up but it seems to be distorting the bracket after a while and now one struggles to stay down at all.

Always nice to see the bonnet wobbling an high speeds on the twistys...

thats the only way, the brackets do bend and can be adjusted and replaced and are a stupid idea.
