Well, i got a strap from a sports bag, modified it to length etc but found that on the Mark 1, you cant put it in and around the cross-bar before the back window as the cloth (or vinyl) is wrapped around the bar and into the grove or slot the length of the bar.( have a look to undetstand maybe)

I'd have to cut a hole in the vinyl to get it in and around the bar and eventhough the vinyl or cloth I'd be cutting is on the inside of the hood - i'm a bit loath to do it......

Any thoughts gents?

Rgds,

Ollie.

wrap your fingers around the bit that its tucked into and prise it open.. you'll see then that you could put a slot in the flap if you wanted to.. Use a pliers with a rag put in the jaws to squeeze the flap back in.
