Hood velcro

Hood velcro was created by RMcB

I'm a new TF owner, and still finding my way with what's normal, and what's a 'special feature' of my own car.
It has these velcro tabs, one on each side on the hood, above each side window. What am I supposed to be doing with them?
My hood has a glass window, and I've been told (not confirmed) that it's a pretty good replacement hood by MGF Mania?!
Thanks.

I don't have those on my hood, if there is no obvious use I would just tuck them out of the way. Just in case it becomes apparent they have a specific task for your hood. They may be used for when the hood is folded down! Sorry its not much help, but I'm sure others will have the "Gold Plated" answer.

If you go on you tube and put in mgf mania there is a vid showing how to fit one of their hoods (with glass HRW), hopefully if you watch it all may become clear, because it appears none of us on here know!

One side of the velcro was originally glued to the hood rail, the other to the hood, the idea was to keep the hoo material in place when it folded, originally some of the hood wad also glued to the rails although over the years this has most likely given way.

I was hoping it might be to hang your umbrella from.
