iain Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Getting close to the end of a refresh with VHP, started as a engine bay repaint...........dont ask I got a bit carried away ! Anyway, the rear screen seal is as hard as Hades! Does anyone have a recommendation for a seal that fits and actually holds the screen in, the one I have does but it was a brute to refit it a couple of years ago and could do with replacing.

foster461 Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 There is a guy in Seattle selling an improved rear window seal on eBay. It is a bit more accommodating for poorly fitting windows and has a deeper channel. http://www.ebay.com/itm/TRIUMPH-TR2-TR3-TR3A-TR3B-FACTORY-HARDTOP-BACKLIGHT-SEAL-KIT-/370626099514?hash=item564b09793a:m:mkTSysEwkM70LIxvySGiJ9A&vxp=mtr Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Mark Macy in the US has started selling TR2-3B hardtop rear windows that he's having custom made by a company specializing in aircraft canopies in the Dayton, Ohio area (the home of the Wright Brothers and the big Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, so a lot of aerospace stuff nearby). He sells the tops with a seal. Quite likely he'd sell a seal alone, Iain, although he really doesn't like international shipping. If you need help, just holler -- wouldn't be the first time! http://www.macysgarage.com/myweb6/Parts/other_tr2_3_parts.htm Note the last item on the page. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
McMuttley Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi Iain, I have the rear window seal from the US that Stuart swears by, but I no longer have a new rear screen to wrap it around. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRIUMPH-TR2-TR3-TR3A-TR3B-FACTORY-HARDTOP-BACKLIGHT-SEAL-KIT-/370626099514 I polished my screen in-situ as far as I could using a combination of Novus, brasso, t-cut and elbow grease and it is just about OK for now. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Acrylic-polish-scratch-remover-Novus-Polish-1-2-3-VALUE-set-6-Novus-Cloths-/251973776852?hash=item3aaaceb5d4:g:4jEAAOSwrklVZNCi Mine has been sitting in a box for since May 2014, so should be OK (maybe others to confirm?) If you want to avoid international postage (£14.63) and delays, you can have it for £30 incl postage and that badge as trade-in ! We need to invent TRBitCoins ( so long as they aint made of gold ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Hi Austin that could just be a plan! Happy with that deal if you are, if Stuart swears by them that's good enough for me. Iain Edited July 13, 2016 by iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted July 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Stan thanks for the tip. Don thanks for the offer of shipping Austin thanks for expediting the process! Great example of how the Forum works! Cheers All Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iain Posted August 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2016 Austin It' fitted. Tight as a ducks proverbial! You best tell me where to send your Trbitcoins. Cheers Iain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
