So, just south of Gap, just joined the A51 off the N85 and my Mrs said, 'that thing on your bonnet is flapping about!'
Sure enough, the passenger side vent was lifting! Pulled in to an emergency lay by and, luckily I had some 3m tape. Taped the sides and front, looks very Heath Robinson, but it's done the job.
Ambient temperature was 31deg and it's been that hot all week, that plus engine heat soak must have put paid to the adhesive that was used. I'm not livid, just very disappointed that this has happened. It also looks not that good but it'll do until I get it back to the UK.
So all you that have had this mod done, watch out for it lifting.
