Rear Window Clips

[Laser Sag]

Just noticed this advert which has got some rear window clips, thought it might be of use to someone.
Nothing to do with me but thought it might get better coverage on the Tuscan forum.

Ive just fitted some which I made myself. I just copyied the original plastic ones, but made the from aluminium. They are very tight to get on but they seem to do the job. There is a lot less squeeking anyway.

ok they may not look as polished as the raceprove ones, but the problem with them is removing the rear window becomes a problem, so it forces the car to be a targa

if you ever made any more i'd want a set

I have no problem removing the Raceproved ones! Yours look good though and I bet they are a fair bit cheaper!

They basically cost nothing. Quite a lot of work to shape them though as I did it all by hand.

They've gone up in price. Thought they were around £70.

Any plans to 'manufacture' any more?

Um. Not really to be honest. It was a bit labour intensive although very straight forward.

Seems a lot of money for 2 clips. I think it's an upgrade that can wait.

About £50 less than an new rear screen

I know. The original clips seem ok at the moment. I think it's a case of removing the screen every time I take the roof off or when the windows are fully down.

I bought the raceproved clips when my screen blew out with the roof on and windows closed! Luckily it landed in a ditch so only picked up a couple of scratches

Put the alloy clips on mine, very well made an with the bolt seem a lot more secure. I've put the old ones on eBay for a couple of quid in case somebody wants them to have a mess on with. Both seem to clip ok now they are off the car so not sure if I was using them incorrectly.

How much do you want for them?
I could use a spare
