AFAIK it was only the late hardtops and gay coilys that came with the bonnet rod.
Most people just fold their bonnet back onto the window frame stoppers, give you way more room and lets in a lot more light.
My 1981 Soft top 1l has one, my mates early 90s soft top has one too.
IIRC (haven't driven it in over a year

) mine rattles and comes loose every now and then. It's way to short to do anything with. I always just flipped the bonnet up against the wannabee exo, my friends one rests on his snorkel. It doesn't seem mark either of them to badly.
