The windbreak has stopped working .I can hear the motor running  when  I operate the switch but the glass is just floating ,it can be pulled up or pushed down.

It seems a common problem is the driving belt shredding but I don't think that would explain the glass being free.

Looks a bugger to get to so I will leave it for the winter layup.

I may even get a windbreak that velcros to the roll over hoops and just push the glass down. 

Happy days.Mrs T thinks it's the most comfortable 'sports'  car that I have had.

When I think of the cost of some of those cars (particularly the Porsche and the Lotus  )  it makes me think these cars are a real little sleeping gem.

I have just made a DIY windbreak this afternoon.

A piece of 6mm thick  clear perspex off ebay and some velcro straps to attach it to the  roll over hoops.

The perspex needs a really sharp jigsaw blade to cut cleanly and then the edge needs polishing with wet and dry paper.

Just taken the car out and it works well, better than the original I think.

The old glass one just lifted straight out. 

I will probably  get the the cover off and look at fixing  the motor/belt at some stage but not sure if I will use the motorised one again.

The car sailed through the MOT last week with only an advisory for new front discs so still feeling very happy.
