Hi Tim,
There are 2 nuts that hold the rubber conical bonnet stops - 1 of which is
inside a bracket that is attached to the bonnet. The nut is stopped from moving
by the bracket. The problem is that when I went undo the rubber cone/bolt
assembly - the nut's edges disintegrated - and the whole think has basially got
stuck together - so it now just spins around in the bracket. I'm going to have
to saw off the bolt - and then push the bolt and the nut (that is stuck) - up
and out of the bracket - but there is no way of opening up the bracket that I
can see on my car without brute force.
Mike mentioned that he found there was a metal flap that he just levered open
with a screwdriver. But mine doesnt have a flap.
I hope that explains it.
