Hood not sitting properly
The hood on my car sometimes sticks and doesn't sit in its recess very well, is this common and if so, is their a quick fix?
I find my self having to help it by pushing on the middle roof bar downwards when its under power on the way down.

Yep - common problem.
The elastic straps that pull the middle bar down looses it's spring. Either put the roof back 1/2 way and push the bar back by hand and then put the roof down fully or order some of these:

Check the "fold" in the hood on the outer part under the glass. This should fold inwards and the roof sits low. If it folds outwards, it will sit high when cold.
see my thread HERE
Read down and you'll see I have a fix too.
