Chimera rear screen

[micky g]

Hi,

Could anyone please point me in the right direction to get a replacement rear screen fitted to a Chimera? I'm near Derby, any help greatly appreciated!

Either get to your local TVR meeting and ask for help/advice, or Google car trimmers in your area.

A decent trimmer should be able to do this job easily. Ask for photos/contact previous customers/visit workshop with car and ask for quote. Current prices, I reckon you'd be looking at about £400 - that's on a drive in - drive out basis.

A big difference in price, I expect, if it is done in situ (some places can do this) or with the whole roof removed. I've seen some rear windows replaced with stitching done by a blind cobbler with 4 thumbs. There used to be service of this type advertised on eBay but there don't seem to be any now.

They have TVR Chimaera specifically on their list. :

I had the need to replace my rear window in my 2000 Chimera .
Couldn’t find anyone to do it in situ and the trimmers I found all stated that it’s not easy stitching or messing around with a 23 year old soft top and all declined to take it on
So Decided to ge5 a new roof and my local trimmer fitted it
I got my roof from All Hoods in Romford and they will fit as well.
All in around £800 and a couple years on it’s as good as new.
If your roof is the original then all of the other stitching will be suspect.
