The MGF Register Forums

My glass rear window has smashed by a careless drop. Now I can buy a whole new hood but wonder if there is a way to instal new glass into the current hood. Is anyone aware of the OEM company that makes/made these hoods so I can ask them how to do it? If the answer is no then apart from Rimmer Bros where else can I talk to people about a replacement.


Many thanks for any help forthcoming.

BAS International “car-hood.co.uk
They manufactured later MGF hoods

BAS also sell the replacement glass section which zips in at the top and is secured by replacement pop rivets along the bottom. I’ve got one on my TF - can recommend.

…. very straight forward to fit too….

Thank you so much for your very helpful responses. I will get on to BAS on Monday.

I had a BAS one fitted to my F recently, they are good. Be prepared for a long wait though.

I fitted my own - took a couple of hours. Tools needed are a drill, suitable sized drill bit to drill out old pop rivets and pop riveter to fit new rivets through the same holes. Look at the condition of the rubber seal along the bottom edge of the hood. I replaced mine at the same time using a neoprene replacement (think from MG Mania). I heard about a cheaper version later - a draft excluder from Tool Station which was the correct dimension.
