Colin Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 Hi Chaps, Idle query! I recently noted after renovation that the two vertical rear screen chrome strips were incorrectly reinserted and I have swopped them back over (pic). You will probably know how you can tell this, by the 'tide' mark where the upright fits into the rear screen chrome corner trim units. So, having swopped them over, I note now that the very bottom of the upright, 'flows' over the horizontal bottom rubber and central 'chrome' finisher. But my question is; how were these two merging elements finished from manufacture? I could, for example, slice the chrome finisher at the point where the upright comes down - this upright looks as if it could push further on its seam and then would be tight against the horizontal bottom screen rubber. I simply can't recall how it was prior to renovation and as this has been a greater - and second - renovation than its first minor 'go-over' and not being the original owner, I don't know how factory would have finished this off! All thoughts welcome! Best, Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted June 30, 2022 Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I've just checked a few old photos and the chrome finisher trim in the rubber seal seems to be between the two uprights; in some it finishes a millimetre or two short on either side, but certainly within the two vertical trims and not under them.

Colin Posted June 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2022 I havd to say, that as soon as the 'lid' was off, it was very tempting to take it to soft-top status!! 😉🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
