safari or mantec style??

The metal mantec styles will take a bit of battering, Ive got one, been through bushes like you described, scratched it a bit, but a coat of hammerite fixes that easy enough.

my safari one got bent out at 90 degrees when my defender had a lie down in a very verdant hedge somewhere in mid wales.
it popped back into shape when I got back on all 4 wheels, the same could not be said for the roof
I think the mantecs and safaris of this world can take the knocks, not so sure of the cheapy knockoffs, but then they're pennies in comparison so I guess they'd be cheap enough to chuck.

I have a cheap metal Paddock one. My thinking was if it gets damaged it's cheap to replace. Like you I often go into the forest through narrow tracks where the mirrors get pushed back. The snorkel has stood up well. No damage what so ever. Its now four years old. I would like a metal Mantec one as I think they look cool.

The problem i have with my steel padocks snorkel is rust. Ive just noticed that where it has dripped onto the windscreen, the rusty water has stained the glass. Any ideas how to clean this from the screen.?

Try CocaCola or CLR.
