anyone else got these fitted?

shortly after i fitted mine to the bonnet of the 3dr it became a right pain in the arse to close the pins down, they just stopped sliding over for some reason so you had to pull the springs and knock them a few times before they would go...

anyway, last night doing the usual process, the fucking things broke. i dont know if its because its cold out now and they have gone a bit brittle, but both sides went last night!

i do have another pair of locking ones that i was going to fit to the boot, but never worked out where to put them, and now got an electric boot pop on there. but the only thing is they are riveted to the bonnet

NOTHING ever goes right with that damn car!
