Buying a new hood, do I need to buy a new rain rail or can I use the old one. Robbins dont seem to do a singel window PVC hood with a rain rail fitted. Any advice welcome. (1/00)

What's a rain rail? (1/00)

Rain rails are fragile with age .. so you might get away with reusing the old one but you will have to be very careful and realistic expect to patch the old one up with gaffer tape or similar; not the best thing in an awkward place that could leak water into the car. (1/00)

I second that recommendation. If the hood is being replaced for age related reasons, rather than trauma with an edged instrument, I'd recommend a new rain rail. The plastic from which the rain rail is made is thin and brittle even when new. (1/00)
