Cabby Rear Screen replacement
Cabby Rear Screen replacement
Firstly, my rear screen has cracked right across and is it possible to replace just that section ? If this is possible, where can i get one from ?
Does anyone have technical information on how this is done please ? mainly getting to the screws along the bottom.
Many Thanks
Destiny

Re: Cabby Rear Screen replacement
any place that does leather trimming should be able to sort a screen out for you.
I did find this place if you want to mortgage you house

Re: Cabby Rear Screen replacement
IIRC they unzip so you could remove it and take it too or post it to someone to fit a new rear section.
Re: Cabby Rear Screen replacement
They do unzip but you need to remove the side flaps & there is a metal bar that holds the base of the screeen down, often these bars are very rusty!
Re: Cabby Rear Screen replacement
Sorry about the delay in replying and saying thankyou for all your advice and imput
I may contact the guy in hereford, I have seen the screens on ebay a couple of years ago but does anyone have any experience in how to remove those screws along the bottom bar please ?
Many thanks

Re: Cabby Rear Screen replacement
Thank you for that offer
I have been to see Keith Williams in Hereford and we are going for a new complete roof..... ok, its expensive but will be a proper job that fits and is good quality. Also the car is low millage and in good condition, so it is worth doing
Please can you tell me what the bar across the back that holds the screen down is called, the one that inevitably rusts as i need to try find one or will have to have one fabricated ?
Many thanks

Re: Cabby Rear Screen replacement
I replaced the plastic in ours. Just required a little patience and a robust needle and thread

Re: Cabby Rear Screen replacement
Sorry I must have forgotten to bookmark this. 
Just having aquick look in the manual there is a item 'outer cover' [28] that holds the rear of the hood to the rear most part of the frame at the bottom. That is a strip with studs that most go through the hood and through the frame bar with a nut type fixing of some sort.
