I am stupid.....
Discussion
Spent today trying to sort out rattles and squeeks from the interior of the car. I removed all the carbonfibre dash inserts and wrapped electrical tape around them. Refitted, they were nice and solid (as opposed to rattling to f**k as previously). So, next came the hardtop. Put rubber window seal all around the rear screen before refitting, nice and snug. The hardtop has been creaking against the rollbar (as they all do), so I put lengths of foam all along the bar and refitted. A nice tight fit, and hopefully creak-free.
Final job seeing as I'm there.......put some sticky rubber on the front of the drivers window, to hopefully stop the annoying rush of air through it at speed. Cut a small length of rubber, placing large sharp scissors on shiny waxed slippery hardtop (you can see it coming can't you....)
Soooooooo...........as I stick the rubber to the hardtop, I watch as the scissors slide off the hardtop, straight down the windscreen, and into the starlight black front clam. It was like slow motion.
I feel sick. Gonna take a proper look tomorrow. I'm sure any fellow GJOB's will feel my pain.......

I also learnt the hard way! Never leave tools on your car whilst trying to fix it! I was trying to change my coolant bottle & dropped the only socket that fitted somewhere in the engine bay! I had to take the under tray off just to locate where the bloody thing had gone. No damage caused but what should have taken half hour ended up being 2 hours......
Schoolboy error 
Pah, mate we've all been there. I've done enough silly little scratches with belt buckles etc. Don't sweat it, a bit of scratch-x will probably see it right. At the end of the day, if that car's going to see a trackday or two you're going to have to let the odd chip go.
