Does anyone have an idea what the thin wires running from the roof to the bonnet are on this rally car? Antennas?? Bit thin for something structural.

Maybe they hold the hood up when someone is working on it, so nothing is in the way under the hood?

Looks like the system used to keep branches and things from smacking the windshield. They should be mounted to the top of the fender instead of the hood though...

I confirm that it is to deflect tree branches.


The name for it is : limb risers

Thanks guys. I always admire the collective intelligence of the Internet!
