As per the title, i need to get the roof done this winter.

The stitching around the rear screen is failing as is the stitching everywhere else so need to do the whole thing.


For those that have done it, where is best? and what is best ? keep it standard, or smaller screen ?

Vary with who does it, but approx cost, although a top quality job is what i am after, so cost secondary.


Do they renew the rubber seals, especially between the targa and rear hoop, and the door window seals.

"Elephants ears" long gone on mine, so i assume they renew these.


Not a big fan of the totally square window i have seen in a few posts, and the original design is Crcensoredp as per the rear screen getting trapped.

Moving forward do not want to have to use a towel or similar to prevent damage.

Quite like this one, its a little smaller but still maintains that angled look, rather than square.

Hi,

I’ve got your e-mail regarding rear screen dimensions but unfortunately I don’t have access to my car for about 3 weeks.

I’m happy to send them over when I get the car back though.

Thanks.
I would appreciate that, thank you.

This is mine. I got the dimensions off Karl (A900ss), however I can't find the email so measuring mine it comes out around 97cm top length 108cm long length. Whether his is the same is anyones guess though biggrin
That looks very nice, and again your car is in the best colour.

Would you please measure the window depth.

I have just measured the standard rear screen on my Chimaera and it is approx 110cm top length and 142 bottom so both significantly bigger.

Standard rear screen depth is 34cm.
