Saloon rear window

[russ price]

The rear window on my saloon needs rebonding and there is currently no filler strip fitted. The questions i need help with are :- What Mk of Cavalier is the filler strip from? Are they still available? What is the purpose of the filler strip, the bonded side windows do not use them, do they?

Any help appreciated - Russ

When i refitted the rear screen on mine i didn’t put the filler strip in, i just filled the gap up with more of the bonding glue and wiped it off smooth.

Looks neater than the filler strip IMO.

Hi Russ,

When Eddie Ruskin did my repaint that was how mine was finished and it looks fine.  My son’s has trim and I just got a generic one of a convenient cross section size to fit and rested it on adhesive using the trim to fill the gap around the outside.  That looks fine also, but can come loose, which the glue cannot. But if you want a more ‘finished look’ that many be the way for you.  

Don’t bother with the old style strip.  At one time there seemed to be an idea that you had to tension up the screen against the frame aperture to get a good fit and the screen rested on rubber.  I find that’s not necessary.  What can be a problem is a lack of rigidity of the rear roof around the rear screen.  You may need to provide extra support.  Both of ours have been strengthened inside by Eddie so they do not distort.  It also provides a handy place for a rear seat overhead light and wiring!  

Good luck.

Derek

 Filling the gap with the bonding glue suits me.  I'll have to check the rigidity of the roof line.

Thankyou both.

My roof hasn’t been strengthened and I just filled the gap with the black gunk.

Be sure to prop up the roof first before you take the window out to get a good seal when you put it back in.

Hi John,

Eddie added a beam across the back of the roof.  I believe it is a foam core and overlaid with glass fibre.  I am sure he would give you details if you wanted to do the same.  The wiring was laid in and I added the lights for the rear afterwards in both cars. Mine has a slightly different arrangement than Colin’s, giving me a fore and aft style fitting.  Colin's is across the car.  Fun with glass fibre!  It can be whatever you want.  Of course it needs to be added with the rear screen in to get the right shape.
