I've fitted a hood before, its pretty much as per the guide! the real tricky bit is getting it to sit right along the front edge, need to fiddle till its just right.

Took about a day, but we were going slowly to make sure we did it right.

The one i bought came with instructions, was from a DE shop but cant remember what it was called now. the link i posted above has excellent instructions, nothing in there that the ones that came with the hood said any better :)

Oh and I recommend you get new side and rear tension cables, your old ones are likely to be bust!

Jon, did you need to pack it out any when you refitted it?

Dan, might want to check the rear window surround as well if your taking your hood off, they are notorious for going rusty as the water seems to sit there when raining.
