Yes it’s attached to the hood .. it looks like you could fit a new one .. I have 3 months warranty..so I think I’ll phone the garage.only thing is am a bit nervous about someone messing with the hood . I look at a coupe , but the front had lots of stone chips , then I seen this one and it was fitted with a cobra exhaust.. it was mint , but I never checked the soft top .. it was only when I got it home I noticed a few things, but the roof works fine , just worried about the rubbers .
