on the Archive drawing - https://archive.a7ca.org/collections/tec...em/TD0190/? - Detail 'B' shows a cross section of the rear of the sliding panel, where one can see a metal strip that was used to hold everything in place, presumably both the roof covering and the rubber sealing strip. Remarkably, I still have this piece. However, the making of the triangular 'fillet' that goes across the panel that the panel covering and rubber strip are afixed to has been a fraught affair (taking best part of two days and 3 prototypes) to get right and I am trying to keep its depth down to an absolute minimum at this point, mainly as it is a bugger to get over the very rear of the roof that is curved whereas the roof forward of that is flat.
Does the Team think:
a) that the rail is truly necessary and
b) are there loads of cars running round where this metal strip doesn't exist?
This image shows a trial section installed without the metal strip...
Am I fretting too much?
