Mike 458 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Can someone do me a quick favour and take a look at the black plastic that's at the bottom of the windscreen where it meets the bonnet. From the drivers side wing mirror, you can't see into the bonnet but on the passenger side you can so not sure if a piece is missing. Pic of mine is below - the plastic bits that are in the pic all have a corresponding bit on the drivers side but the drivers side has an extra piece which blocks the view into the bonnet.

Mike 458 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 How have I not noticed this before then? :/ And why is it different to the drivers side?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Maybe its there to aid engine bay temps? It would be interesting to see what the left hookers look like on the left side? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 458 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 I've not opened my bonnet yet but going off http://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/images/news/toyota-gt-86-easy-operating-hood-dampers-will-excite-your-engineering-side-79299_3.jpg (RHD) and http://www.stri-racing.com/media/catalog/product/cache/5/image/4c0dcc3e9e6925f5cad22dea1dc7a751/2/0/2012_frs_ehd_ins_logo_11.jpg (LHD) the bit that I thought was missing is attached to the bonnet and always on the drivers side. Makes it a bit odd seeing as they obviously make both sides... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Duff 79 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 Yes, it is different on each side, but isn't it just an issue that the drivers side is a slightly different shape of moulding to allow clearance for the wiper arm when using wipers, or have I misunderstood the question/issue?

Tareim 343 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 are we on about that bit of plastic that has got the lines going down it with the cut out? if so I have that on both sides Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Duff 79 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 are we on about that bit of plastic that has got the lines going down it with the cut out? if so I have that on both sides Yes, the flexible lined plastic thing is the same on both sides, but the moulding next to and just under the lip of the bonnet it is different (which I think the OP was meaning) - as I said I think it is just to do with making room for the wiper arm on the drivers side and then hiding the cutaway with an extra insert. In other words there is no missing pieces anywhere Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tareim 343 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 I'll have to have another look soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 458 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 Yea it's the lip that's attached to the bonnet. Had a look this morning, there is a cut out on the plastic on the drivers side which I guess the lip is there to cover up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
