Yes. Black plastic trim. Runs from front to back, each side of the roof, about an inch in from the edge. The monkey peeled back about 3 inches of the plastic strip, so it needs reattaching.

Unfortunately, no. Even if we had been recording video, you could only just see the culprit in the side mirrors. The safari park that we were visiting yesterday has a "Road safari" where you drive through the enclosure, but for obvious, tiger-related reasons, you're not allowed out of the car until you return to the car park.

It was a Patas Monkey, incidentally.

You could try fixing it with Gorilla Glue.

Looks like number plate tape should do the job.

That looks good. I keep a roll of 3m VHB handy for such things.
