Quote from: "Chris"Interesting, I'll have to check mine, as I left the rings on as well, but don't seem to be having any problems with bonnet clearance...  My washers are ok so far as well, just wish the wipers were the same!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
Did you leave the rings under the strut or place them on top of the mounts  s:?: :?: s:?:

Strange, but recently i've been putting up with the left washer not working, then I remembered this thread, and sure enough, upon checking the hose was squashed by the brace.  I've taped it to the rear edge of the bonnet for now, but did you find that taking the rings off gives the extra clearance needed?

If the rings are underneath the strut then definately; if they are above of course it makes no difference. I still had to tape the LHS washer hose out of the way even with the rings off  s:? :? s:?  and its worked fine ever since  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

Quote from: "Chris"Cutting the plastic was the hardest and longest part, partly due to me having a fairly small and none too sharp stanley knife, and partly due to the fact that the supplied templates weren't quite right!
