Bloody hell, that sounds like a brown trouser moment, having that happening. :shock:
I think that i should invest in some decent bonnet clamps just in case that happens to me, driving on these damn bumpy roads here in Ireland at 60-ish mph.

Just as well you had a spare windscreen and frame Urbanzook.
