Our Phil and Ted pram hood seems to have come loose and we are finding it difficult to put back into place. The metal frame of the hood doesn;t seem to fit properly anymore and the buttons do not join on the frame. Does anyone have instructions on how to fit it back on correctly?
Hi,
I have the same problem with a Phil and Ted's Sport - but I believe I have the solution as below. This is taken straight from the Instruction Manual which you can view at: http://www.arango-design.com/Phil-Teds-Sport-Buggy-p/7890-0001.htm - towards bottom of page is a link to the instruction manual - which I was unable to get on the Phil and Teds website. Got this today but haven't tried it yet. Hope this helps.
Really becomes clear when you see the pictures in the instruction manual.
Regards, John
Hood
The sport hood is packed disconnected.
To reconnect:
1. Locate sun hood and hold it facing down, as shown ‘a’.
2. Insert crimped wire ends into frame, through eyelets, ‘b’.
3. Lay hood back (to top of buggy).
4. Locate red coloured pocket at top of fabric seat and insert rear hood wires into each side, ‘c’ and ‘d’.
5.Open hood and attach domes, at bottom of hood, to main seat, ‘e’.
6. Pull eyelet at top of hood over pegs on each side of frame, ‘f’
Note that the windows in the hood are lined with a sun mesh of
a lower shade factor than buggy fabric. Always use sun cream
and clothing for protection of children in direct sunlight.
I've tried the solution and it has worked. You really need to see the pictures in the instruction manual (see link above) before it becomes clear what to do. The black metal frame of the hood actually fits under the canvass on the main frame below the handlebars.
Thanks for the finer detail John. I was pulling my hair out thinking it was broken because the crimped wire ends kept popping out.
