Hi again,
My A had the side screens mounted to low and too far forward.
Removing the door trim showed about 3 sets of holes made over
the years.
I bought a hardtop and had to re-fit the sidescreens.
Having fitted them for the hardtop they fitted the hood better as
well. Since these cars were all hand fitted, wings and doors were
chosen from stock to give a good overall fit all sidscreen placements
are different.
My screens shut into a recess in the hood material. The hood forms
something of a gutter.
Jean-Pierre do you have the vinyl covered screens or the aluminium ones.
The aluminium ones have a rubber seal around them making it possible
to trim them a bit. If they are aluminium then have you got rubber seals?
It's a T section rubber.
They never fitted terribly well even when new!

Regards,        
    Steve
