The windscreen is Citroen Visa and the rest are specials as far as I know - I think that Alan at Rossabitz has some in stock but would you not just be needing them resealed or new rubbers fitted?

Can't help on what the screen is (anyone know what the screen on a K3 is?) but the others are specials.
My front screen is bonded in with a stuck on rubber seal to make it look better. I removed the rubber seal rebonded the screen using a screen bonding adhesive that I had used before to bond side windows in a Quantum (costs about £10 which is enough to do a front and rear screen on a K3). Then re-stuck the rubber finisher back to make it look a bit better.

I also had loads of water getting in the car when the hardtop was in place and the majority of it was coming in from the joint at the front between the roof and the screen. I stopped this by using a self adhesive "D" shaped foam seal from Kent Trimmers. The side windows got a better seal by using door seals from a sierra.

I have made two sets of door seals, one set for the hardtop system to eliminate the joint where the top meets the screen and a second set for when the soft top is installed.

The only other thing to do is ensure that the side windows are not wound up too far, on my one this made the rear of the window miss the seal and water would get in there.

Raymondh said Visa as well but I was wondering if there was a difference between the early Rossa and the K3. If not then great, at least I know what to look for or order if the screen goes at anytime.

Sorry for delay in posting this.
Log-in problems !!!

I can confirm the screen on Rossa and K3 are
Citroen Visa/C15 van.
GTM recommended genuine Citroen as some pattern
screens may not fit.
I have door windows and hard top windows in stock.
