Has anyone experienced any problems with the bonnet blowing off at 'spirited' speeds?
Not had a problem yet myself, but it seems to move a lot with the rear of the main section arching and the inset panel jigging about.
Does altering the angle of the flaps help to keep it secure, or am I worrying about nothing?nerd

Henley Heritage added some pads at the corners, top and bottom of the access panel and it made all the difference. Much more stable now.

If the car has the modified front 'L' shaped safety brackets it should'nt actually fly of the car! I took advise from another PHer and added neoprene pads to the top lugs of the inspection panel section and this fits nice and snug now with no vibration at speed.

Thanks for the replies, it seems I have the modified brackets so I will be less concerned in the future, but what caused Sporties' to come off and are there any lessons to be learntscratchchin
