i have got a mk1 cortina front screen rubber but not yet compared the two like for like, i dont mind cutting and shuting one to make a decent window rubber but not yet worked out how to bond it together if you get my meaning |

The MkII Cortina does not fit very well: completly the wrong shape. I wouldn't like to modify one, but I believe the firm that remade the Rapier one did use a Cortina one as the basis, but they have special moulding equipment. I bought both to check & sent the Cortina one back it was so bad. I think we have one screen rubber left, but I've not seen it in a while!
Oh and yes, loads of glass and screens around, but not many tinted. All Fastbacks had tinted from Oct '74. |

I think you can buy a front screen rubber from the club - contact Glen.

Should be tinted - the ebay add said it was from a '76 car (quite rare). I think the "Sundym" glass was standard from about '74 on Rapiers and H120s (probably Alpines too - I can't remember looking at one that new)

Yes, But I think I had bid 200£(+ post to Norway about 150£), My front window was broken,
and a new one here in Norway costs about 400£.
New from a factory in Finland

I've already got a couple of tinted rear screens - but a tinted front would be nice to complete the set.

You might be able to agree something with the seller... that he keeps them until you come nearer for something like a holiday, family visit,...
No?
