Clubman bonnet latch adjustment
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi

I went out in the mini last night for the first time in about 3 weeks.

Blasted down the duel carridge way for a few miles then as I came off the bonnet poped open! Luckily the second latch caught it!
Then on the way home it did the same!!

It's never done this before and I've had it on the road for at least a year now.
When it's shut it is clamped down and won't pop open if I pull on it.
It's a internal release if that makes a difference.
Should I try screwing the bonnet catch in more or out more?

It's not a nice feeling when the bonnet does that! Luckily the secondary catch did it's job!!!

Thanks
Josh

Try grabbing the bonnet at the sides and 'twist' it one way or the other n see if it makes a difference.. it may have only moved slightly..

Ok dave. Is that to see if it's shut right?
