How to rebuild these side windows?

What was the original material?
And how the chrome guides are mounted, or how to remove the glass?

if you can wait until the weekend, I will see if I can take one of mine apart.

It was 30 years ago since I did one, I don't remember any issues. I think you have to slide the glass back to expose some screws in the chrome. The material I did mine in Duck Canvas, don't know what it would be called overseas. It is not the right material but as close as i could get at the time.

Hi,

You can some pictures of the side screens from my car during the restoration here

The chrome strips are attached with small screws that are under the felt strip in the channel bottom. The fabric material is called Double Duck Two canvas layers that are laminated together with a rubber layer in the middle. Here is an example https://www.woolies-trim.co.uk/product/ ... -duck-fawn
