The rear screen on my Baur has developed a crack , it is also a bit milky in places so what are my options ?
The fabric is very good and no holes so I`m a bit loathed to change it .

Can I get the screen replaced?

I'm not too sure on the inferior Baur models, Mart.

I do know that the decent roofs had a stitched in rear screen, which is a difficult, but not impossible, to repair, and a zipped in version.

Heres the process on normal cabbies; don't know how well it applies to the FrankenBaur models.

Its very good quality and stitched in as well

Hmmm probably easier to replace the roof, despite the material being in good nick.

It`s a weekend toy so I dont want to spend too much on her.

Somewhere must do this

I only know of the place in Twickenham. No roof trimmers in leeds? I don't know about your car, but I'm sure they have to remove the roof to do this on a normal cabby.

I`ll have a look now at how to take the rear section off, as for roof trimmers in Leeds, dont know but I will get the better half to have a real dig.

Cheers, Mart.

It's easy to take the rear-roof of a Baur. I did this every winter, when I placed my hardtop.

But I doubt if replacing the window only is the right solution. For about 250-300 pound you can replace the fabric with it. If you do it yourself, which is much easier than on a normal cab.

If the hood can be removed so that it can be placed flat on a sewing machine base,all you need is access to an industrial sewing machine.

You must have a sewing factory type place within your home area somewhere,as you are based in Leeds,so all you need to do is to chat up an experienced machinist!

Chat up a suitable young lady,and the job may well be free....
