Just checking fluid levels on the barge and noticed  2 hooks near the rear of the inner wings and matching brackets on the bonnet.

These are all fixed in position so I wondered what are they and do.

Only explanation I can offer is once the bonnet is closed and the hooks and bracket engage they are there to prevent the bonnet moving back towards the windscreen in the event of a frontal impact.

Very clever design.
