In February I bought my first Morgan, a 2009 Roadster 100, from Williams Morgan and am thoroughly enjoying the experience of driving a real car again. Last week I had to drive down to Williams and as rain was forecast had the roof up and the side screens fitted. As I needed to get there relatively quickly I opted to travel down via the M5 and noticed that at 70mph the side screens were sucked out from the A-posts so while at Williams I bought the revised neoprene A-post seals and fitted them last weekend. The old neoprene seals peeled off easily without tearing and have provided me with 4mm neoprene to cut and stick to the top of the A-posts to seal the little gaps that are mentioned in this thread. I now have to find a fast road to see if the new seals stop the side screens from being sucked away from the A-posts at speed but the new seals do appear to grip the side screens on my car.
Fitting these revised A-post seals has created a problem, it is now difficult to shut the doors with the hood up as the flaps of hood that hang down inside the car against the side screens are now too long and clash with the new seals, especially on the nearside. The bunched up fabric against the seal makes it hard to close the door and twists the side screen off the new seal. My next job will be to find some green thread so that I can modify these side curtains, has anyone else fitted these new A-post seals and experienced this?
