My bonnet catch on my hilux surf started playing up about 8 months ago, so i just pulled it out and put in some bonnent pins( pin through the bonnet with a R clip to hold the bonnet down.

My mate also has the same on his navara but he failed the pits, something about not adr approved and needing to be flush mounted?

Doe anyone have these installed and does anyone know where i can get some? prefer perth supplier but also willing to internet order.

Cheers

Very happy with the end result especially being the flush finish, barely visible from drivers seat unless open

Put some lube on the pin as the thing jams and it is a ping ping ping to get loose.
