will do chuff
martz... i am not 100% certain... i think it is the original but don't have much experience (read any experience) of convertibles so I am going to see rubjohnny and get his advice when I get it.
the previous owner admitted that it could do with replacing... and when i saw it, it certainly wasn't 100%... especially when the roof was being opened and closed... I am happy to pop up and see you if you want to give an opinion on it.. i did however take this into account the hood replacement when i purchased it
