 Coupe windscreen rubber I'm going to be calling into Europa spares in a couple of hours to pick up a windscreen rubber for the coupe. Anyone any idea what length I need? Also, is there an optimum for the glass thickness/body thickness dims?

Re: Coupe windscreen rubber Evenin all Does anyone have any suggestions on the above? I am just about to replace the windscreen and before I go for the standard mini-type rubber (3mm body/3mm screen), does anyone know anything different? The rubber I am planning to use is part number R398-C from Woolies ( http://www.woolies-trim.co.uk). Your thoughts would be appreciated! Cheers Barny

Re: Coupe windscreen rubber From memory my Coupe screen was 5 - 6mm thick.
The thickness of the body is variable. I would measure it in a few places and choose the appropriate rubber.
On my car the screen aperture was way oversized so I used the Mini rubber with the extra flange built in. It only comes as complete loops so I bought 2, cut them and superglued them back together.

Re: Coupe windscreen rubber OK, I have measured the coupe screen and it is 6mm. As I don't currently have the car with me, can anyone advise on body thickness?

Re: Coupe windscreen rubber As John says they do vary, just measured mine and I've got about 4mm along the bottom, 2.5mm at the top and no more than 2mm max on the screen pillars.

Barny Are you sure about that? 3mm seems very thin for a screen.

Re: Coupe windscreen rubber Cheers Dino, it'll be the 6mm screen / 3mm body variant then.
