Can I jump on the bandwagon please Al, Also, anyone know what is best to stick the blighters on....Evostick?

Yep! pleasure, drop me a mail with your address.

OH I would think a contact adhesive of some decription. Work cleanly and DONT GET ANY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOOD!

Why have Elephants got Big Ears?

















Cos' Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom!

Sorry guys my 95 4.0HC hasn't got these, never has and doesn't leak...

Cheers

This thread has made my mind up to fit the 'ears' but would I be right in thinking that providing that the rear hood part is waterproof then these are not required?

I think that its a belt'n' braces job.
Mine hasnt leaked but i cant wait to put them on....(the car, not me)

Just to add the elephants ears are there to direct the water from the hoop seal away from the cars interior. The are small but do an important job.

They do deteriorate with rear hood usage but are easy to replace - some are pop riveted on. A lot of cars will probably just have the remains of the tops of them. We have to replace them on a number of cars.

I plan to fit mine this weekend. What glue is everyone planning to use? Might be tricky getting the rubber to stick over the velcro part too - a bit of trimming of the velcro may be in order.
