I’ve got a set of old Weathershield side curtains and thought I’d replace the black seals. We miss Todd!

I’ve called Scarborough Faire and waiting for an answer.

Anyone else?

Thanks

Ted

Anglo Parts has components for the various original MGA side screens, but whether they would work for Weathershield products is to be determined. Can't hurt to reach out to them though:

Try Martin Macgregor - he coukd likrely help you but might not have after-market seals. Worth a try.

It seems the Weathershield side curtains that I’ve had hangining in my garage (garages, we moved) for the past 45 years or so are an original pair designed to fit with the alloy hard top. They were given to me, no history. No hard top, dang!

The aluminium is cleaning up well, the sliders are ok, the plastic windows are original and cleaning up great. The seals need replacement.

No rattles or rattlers, the front sections are stationary.

Ordered a set of the moss repair seals from Jeff Zorn. The bottoms and fronts should be a perfect fit with the top edge wrap around to the rear not needed.

Todd would have had this perfected.

Anyone hold the secret for buffing perplex smooth and clear?
