Elan +2 Front And Rear Screen Trim
2 posts
• Page 1 of 1
The rubber around both the front and rear screens on my 1968 +2 have perished and on the front screen don't fit properly at all. Also, the plastic silver trim has faded both front and back and there are gaps where the strips have met as if they have shrunk over time.
Can these plastic trims be bought new? I heard that early +2s have thicker plastic trim on the front windscreen. Can this still be obtained?

Both screen rubbers available new . Also the filler trim . If you only want the filler trim and now a local screen company , Austin Mini screen filler trim is the same . This time of year soak the filler trim in warm water for a while so it softens and leave it untrimmed for a couple of days so it can shrink back a bit , then trim off ends so they meet .
