Guest MrAsh Posted July 14, 2006 One cold night i decided to put my roof down for a drive home with a differance. Not the best idea as i forgot just how brittle the rear screen can get in the cold... i have now been driving about with a large taped up crack at the rear. Pugeot still do the screens but they ask about £200 for them. Does anyone know where to get a cheaper one from, or of any companys who can fix this for me??

steve@cornwall 100 Posted July 14, 2006 (edited) One cold night i decided to put my roof down for a drive home with a differance. Not the best idea as i forgot just how brittle the rear screen can get in the cold... i have now been driving about with a large taped up crack at the rear. Pugeot still do the screens but they ask about £200 for them. Does anyone know where to get a cheaper one from, or of any companys who can fix this for me?? If you have any local sailmakers / camping specialists / marquee companies, they should be able to either stitch in a replacement window in your removeable panel or put you in touch with someone who can! I have a rear section that has been repaired in this way-but the surrounding black pvc has gone brittle. As work I sometimes have to erect a couple of 7m sq parasols with weather screens- the guy who supplies these reckons a window could be re-stitched cheaply and easily. If any pubs/restaurants have such parasols, the owners should be able to put you in touch with a company who can do this. (I split one of mine this way but havn't had it repaired yet) - if you can obtain a replacement window section, check that it has the same zip size as yours- I have sections with both fine and coarse toothed zips that are not interchangeable. Hope you find something of help here. Edited July 14, 2006 by steve@cornwall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vern 0 Posted July 14, 2006 The screen can be zipped out, and taken to local a car trimmers who can stitch in a new one. If the screen has cracked and it is the original hood, there is a good chance the hood itself will crack and break apart when you remove the screen, or when new screen is sewn in.

Phil H 16 Posted July 14, 2006 Material is called Vyback (sp) and comes in various grades...just whip out the panel and take to a trimmer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
