Are the correct seals no longer available from John Kipping ( UK ) ? My
catalogue suggest that John K. may be able to assist .

Greg,
I used a TR4/5 Surrey top rear window seal on my hardtop. The top and bottom
two curves in the rubber were about in the right place for the spitfire rear
screen. I cut two lengths out either side and glued the seal together with
superglue. Once fitted, it is hard to see the joints and is about the right
profile for the seal. Also when fitted, the chrome strip helps keep the
joins together. The rear screen seal was never that good a fit and I would
recommend using some of that black none setting windscreen sealant in the
glass channel and under the seal where it touches the hardtop.
Regards
