Hi.

Can anyone tell me whether all series 2 & 3 windscreens are the same height?

The one on my 2A seems to be about an inch and a half too high, it's never been a problem as it's been fitted with a ragtop but as that rotted away years ago and I have a hardtop in the garden I need to do something about the windscreen before it will fit.

The current windscreen is sitting on it's rubber strip on the bulkhead and at the correct angle - it's obviously not original as the hinges have been altered, could it be off a lightweight or have I got to start taking measurements elsewhere to find the real problem?

thanks
Andy

yes, but the hinges are different

Pictures please.
It could be that someone has fitted a defender screen to it as they are about 1.5 inches higher.
If its a series screen it will be a split screen if its a defender it will be one piece of glass.

On rag tops there is a a strip along the top that the soft top hooks onto, it is bolted along the top of the screen and need removing to fit a tin lid (which bolts through the same holes.)

Hi. thanks for everyone's suggestions so far.

First a confession:- I got my measurement wrong - I meant 1.5 cm NOT 1.5 inches - sorry

Iv'e been away for a few days but I have taken some pictures now and attempted to add them to this post.

As you will (hopefully) see it is currently fitted with a very ratty truck cab and you should see the gaps around the door top. I realise that an old Landrover is going to have gaps and if these gaps were fairly even I don't think there would be a problem.

gap between front of doortop and roof = 22 mm
gap between back of doortop and roof = 7 mm

A similar odd gap is on the rear edge

This situation was the same when I had the metal frames for the rag top on it.
The discrepency didn't matter with either of these tops but I think it will matter with a full hardtop. I suppose the best way to find out is offer it up and see, weather permitting I will get round to doing this soon, priority is MOT work tho.

thanks again
Andy

Difficult to see from the picture, but the hinge looks odd.
Any chance of photos showing the screen itself, not just the gap?
