Well, I purchased through ebay in October 2017, so only got round to fitting now. I've sent the seller a message with the photos, but its SP4x4 and from experience, their after sales are terrible! But i'll see what they say!

They got back to me, saying the reason it has happened is because I have not used the backing bracket shown on the link below.

I have read about these before, but understood that they are only for conversions from a hinged window....

Do any of you guys have a bracket like this?!

I will look later if no responses.

While you can get to the screen put 2 double screen washer jets on.
Nice cheap/easy conversion.

Honestly this is quite the ball ache of a job. See if your local auto glaziers will do it for cash.

I broke 2 screens on mine before I gave up and got the pros to do it, and I am not ham fisted. Both screen broke on the last 10% of the rubber - it’s just so tight.
