Discussion
Clip for rear window on Mk 1 Tuscan is now very loose. Does anybody know where a replacement can be found - preferably better quality. I am told if I have to replace the existing one with a similar size then I will need to re-fibreglass the setting. Has anybody else had this problem?
This might be an option, but sounds like you're in a hurry....I would link to the whole thread, but don't know how 
...it's currently on page 3 of the Tuscan forum.
Hope this helps.

Guys,
I am trying to co-ordinate a gauge of interest and outline requirements on behalf of Leven Technology (http://www.leventechnology.co.uk/index.htm), into the feasibilty of the re-engineering and manufacture of the Tuscan Rear window clips.
This has come about through my own frustration at not being able to obtain the oem clips, and their bad design. I have no personal interest in Leven, just seeking a good solution.
The proposal is for the solution to be designed and engineered sufficiently well to be indefinitely reusable durable item that doesn't break, and functions as intended, to hold the rear window in place, and allow for easy removal, as needs be. Also the manufactured item will also need to be of a good quality and finish. Material not decided as of yet, I guess likely to be alloy though!
Considering how well Leven manufacture other TVR items of a similar nature, I have no doubting there abilities at solving and manufacturing this item.
The outline price of a pair of these clips will be circa £50. Personally I think this is value for money, for a definitive solution to the issue of the flimsy and woeful design of the original clips.
Questions :
1) Are there design differences between S1 and S2 Tuscan clips? I understand there are both plastic and alloys ones out there, but is the principal design the same?
2) Is there a particular interest in colour coding the result?
In order for the proposal to be considered seriously, I need to ascertain interest. As if it isn't financially viable, then it won't go any further. If there is sufficient interest, then the design and manufacture of a prototype will be carried out, utilising my car at first. Obviously at this point there will be something physical to take a picture of to show quality of workmanship. I shall keep you updated of course as to progress.
Could you please email (sicob427@hotmail.com) me your details, name, contact, and any comments append to this mail:
a) Your level interest at the proposed price
b) Any comments you wish to make.
By all means, add any comments here too!
Regards
Simon

thanks for your help i did ask Leven to have a go at this last year but they could not help.I guess if there are enough of us it will be achievable because they seem to be a fairly simple deviceand one that looks as if it could originally of come from another useage such as on a boat.
