Hi All,

Looking to see how to seal the hood the the windscreen on my half hood I am making. I have to use Tenax fastners and not a bow.

So has any one got a few photos of the windscreen end of the hood from underneth of a westfield/caterham ect?

I want see how they weather proof it (i.e. seal to windscreen frame).. All the photos I can find only show the outside, not useful!

Thanks.

The hood has a felt type stuff on the inside.

my westy had a u shaped channel that fitted tight to the top of screen frame.

there was a rubber strip along the top of the screen frame. then 2 press stud on the front of the screen frame.

drove that in some good down poors, never leaked. and i jet washed it never leaked.

Thanks, gave me some ideas.

I've got an old Westfield hood. Looks like it has a strip of towelling-like on the inside edge, but not any more :

Similar stuff around the doors too. Never driven it with a hood on, but it did't keep the rain out when it was standing on the drive, so wouldn't hold out much hope for keeping dry when it is moving

Thanks Tim.. Kinda thing I was thinking.. I'm sure mines going to leak!
