The original foam is pretty naff. I used a strip of the loop side of velcro. Much more resistant to rotting/ falling apart.

Anthracite is very deep blue tending to black. Like my car.

Re-fitting a replacement rear window ,it seems the end holes on the window seem to need extra long pop rivets  Non of mine are long enough to go through the metal strip the window surround and the large metal hoop Len

Ive held the window metal strip and frame tight together with Mole grips and pop a pop rivet in  slowly but surely another job being done .Len
