1970 +2 Windscreen rubber

[elclem1]

Once again I have need to call on everyone out there for assistance. I have moved my restoration on and I am having the tub sprayed next week. Only problem is I cannot find a replacement seal for the windscreen. I have tried the usual - Sue miller and Paul Matty but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea where I might get one from? Its the one that sits behind the wiide chrome trim I think it's from a Capri?? but not sure. Thanks in advance Clem.

You're right, it is from the Capri, and Classic I think. If all else fails, you can put the 'standard' rubber in, with the thin plastic filler piece. The only difference between that and the one you want is a deeper groove that the metal finisher pushes into.

Try these guys:

They can usually help. If you have some luck, do let us all know! I'm restoring a very early Plus 2, and like the early 'S', it had the metal surround, for the first 100 cars or so. I'll be needing the same rubber at some time.
