That does look very nice indeed. There is a special trim tool to aid the rear window fitting by the way.


Ooh - do you know what it's called? I'd like to see it.

Regarding the special trim tool, is the the thing with a little roller on? You can go to an art shop and buy one of those odd stick things artist types use for sculpting clay. They are pence and work just aswell despite not having the roller.

Yes it's the roller thing. I've just looked on Frost but they're bloody expensive on there!
