It was knackered anyway. Only left in because it’s structural. Have a nice brand new one in my home office.Ye gods, you never covered the windscreen?

Never an option back then. Plus this one I have is the correct bronze tint.I think you should fit a heated front windscreen!

And last post.Nice 1st post bridge dweller.
Still not figured out why the panel has so many perforations though.
LOL, plausible until you think the perforations were covered in sound deadening so they wouldn’t let the water out.Drain for when the sunroof leaks?
Just seen this - and the second drawing is how I wired up my first heated screen in my Lancia - when I turned it on, the view distorted . . . telephone wire, viewed through the screen, looked to have a considerable step up and then back down in it."Good Morning Clive..
All is well, I do hope you are too ..
Yes I have drawings, at this stage not fully confirmed.. the screen I had for the Capri had split elements, left & right..
I had decided to re-use a Capri HRW switch & relay.. was thinking a while back to fit 2xrelays, 1 per side to allow for failure, and keep the
fuse rating low.. My rusty brain was of the thought that the cranky old Capri screen would draw more power.. I have never checked
I also have the drawing that Heated Windscreens have on their site!
can try these for size..
Keep Safe

Question for anyone who might understand the process.
I need some rubber boots for the loom parts where they go through door gaps etc. Not easy to find although I did find this one from some gouging ebayer.
New genuine Ford Sierra 3dr RS Cosworth Tailgate rubber grommet - Xr4i Xr4x4 MK1 | eBay
All Ford Sierra Mk1 models including Rs Cosworth, Xr4i and Xr4x4. (Hatchback models only). The Ford bag is NOT for sale.www.ebay.co.uk
The question is, if I had a pattern part, how easy is it to get more made?
Yep, will get baby bruv to send one over. Worth a try. Happy to part with shekels. Thanks.I wonder could it be 3D printed in TPU?
If you've an old knackered / perished one I could model it and try.
Yes, it is!!!It's about time I updated this then. Plenty of progress but not so many pictures.
Something in the old grey matter tells me this was something to do with frontal impact absorption.Still not figured out why the panel has so many perforations though.

They did use to fold very easily and resulted in either a write off or, if new enough, a reshell.I've since read there's similar under the sound deadening in the boot on some models.
To the question were they crumple zones, some wag suggested more like crumble zones!
