Hi Chris .I got door seals off eBay . I'm afraid the new screen rubbers came with the other new parts that were with my car when I bought it . I'm sure one of the piston heads tvr lads could point you in the right direction for them ? Fitting that rear screen is scarry but I had more trouble with the front one , to start with I had to cut the old rubber out as it had hardened with age , and after all the prep work on the roof and side pillars it was a tight fit to get back in , managed in the end , all I can advise with the rear is two poeple and some lube . I used wd40 and a good cord . And take your time , I fitted it with the wife pressing it in while I pulled the cord inside , we had a few moments . But got there in the end is yours a heated glass rear screen ? Worst job I found was fitting new head cloth hope your rebuild goes well regards keith .

Thanks for the suggestion about eBay, I will take a look. My window seals were rock hard also, the front I cut out like you, the rear almost fell out in a fashion.. my rear glass does not have the defrost, so I'd guess that makes it stronger than one with? Yeah I read your experience with he head cloth in your previous posts, not looking forward to that eirther. I appreciate the tips for the windscreens.
