Does anybody have a picture of the mohair ones they fit? Preferably with an unzippable window if they do one.

thanks

I don't think you can get unzippable ones?

Here's mine on my old 5:

You mean Jack Smiths trimmers in Swansea?

They fitted mine over 1 year ago, and it was brilliant. Very tight, and didn't let a drop in. Mohair with unzippable rear window. (Pic in my cars with roof down, I'll take some pics tomorrow roof up, and window unzipped/zipped.)

Since then, I've needed a new rear wing, and the roof was refitted by someone else. It's not quite as tight as it was when Jack smiths did it, and if the rain is torrential, and I open and close the drivers door alot, then I get the odd dribble from the seal. Still no leaks normally, even in very heavy rain on the motorway.

I think I've misunderstood the term 'unzippable' hehe

Of course the rear window can be unzipped off separately smile

The roof is filthy, and the sun very bright, which hasn't helped my very average 'phone camera skills! smile

Also, the scuffing mark running across the screen near the top is where it lies on the roll bar. (You can see it in the unzipped pic.)

Thanks for your replies.

This is what I meant by unzippable but it's twice the price. frown
