Bonnet Catch on Carbon bonnet

[Gazcw]

Good shout, think mine is worn too.
Link to parts ordered? Or will i


I used to put my rubbers on my Stift, don't bother anymore.


To be honest though, I've not been overly impressed with the Gummi. The first time I used it, it was a hot summers day, and the next day when I opened my door, a good layer of my rubber had welded itself to the window! Didn't half take some cleaning and scraping to get it off.
Previous to that I've always used clear silicone o-ring grease, and it's worked great.

Greasing up your rubbers too much in heat. Fatal....

I've corresponded with Ross at Meridian - Maserati in their wisdom have made the rubber seals for the cabriolet part of the rear window, so you can't purchase them without the glass! I'll try lube 1st along with the Wheeler Dealers trick and see how I get along.

I've been cleaning the engine bay today and noticed that the bonnet catch ( on the bonnet now, not the receiver ) is starting to show signs of rust. It has a few torx screws in it, so I thought I'd perhaps take it off and refurbish. Looking at the parts catalogues though, it appears that the Centennial editions have an integral catch and it's not available on it's own. Has anyone taken it off at all, or is it bonded to the carbon, which means I'll have to get some rust killer and apply with it on the car? I really don't want to make an expensive mistake trying to take it off and then it does something nasty.

Also, any ideas on how to adjust the window seals? Mine seem to have gone flat so are letting in a small amount of water when I hose the car.

Slow response on this. Try Zymol Seal, a recommendation from @2b1ask1, who's a bit of a god on these things.
