Simon,

Just to add some confusion, do your Side Screens look like the ones in
the attached picture? I thought I had original side screens and couldn't
find replacement rubber until a wise person on this forum pointed out that
my side screens are an aftermarket product that was available back in the
day.

My sidescreens are as original - except that I had to renew the rubbers many
years ago.  If you can give me a few hours, I'll dig them out of the boot
and send you some photos.  As far as I can recall, the felts pretty much
fill the channels completely.

The front pane should be fixed with no felt installed. 

Felt for the rear pane is installed starting at the lower front, up the back
and across the top of the frame ending at the upper front. The channel for
the pane at the front of the frame, adjacent to the windshield post, does
not get felt.

I rebuilt my WeatherSheilds decades ago and separated the felt into two
pieces, one for the lower section and the other for the back and upper
section. I do not recall if that was per original or just for convenience of
installation.

I know nothing about pre-formed runners, unless you are referring to the
felt being formed into a "U" and installed into the channel which is what
was done originally.

Subject: [Healeys] Sidesccreens< AGAIN

Now, however, I find myself somewhat puzzled. My sidescreens are correct for
the car and are - so far as I can tell - a pair. Very probably original to
the car.

(MkII BT7). 

I've stripped one side down.removed the Perspex panes, cleaned out the
tattered remains of felt, glue  etcetc and got myself to where I thought I
could start the process of fitting the new felt and rubber weather seal.

Can anyone tell me where the felt stops and starts?

On the LHS, both panes slide, even if the front is a bit stiff. On the RHS,
the front pane didn't move at all. Admittedly, I can't see much point in the
front moving and 60+- years of accumulated gunk doesn't help. But, are both
sides supposed to slide?

Finally, the bottom of both frames contains what appears to be lengths of
pre-formed runner along which the panes slide quite happily. Of course, one
length is half as long as the other. Now, did they use pre-formed runners
originally or am I looking at exquisitely moulded felt?
