Hopefully these quick shots will give you an idea of them. A lot depends on just how close your front screen edge sits in relation to the windscreen return edge as to the seal fitting ok.

I wish I could do this.
I have the earlier 'flapping' version of the side screens, the ones with the rubber surround. They keep the wind off, but performa significant shake rattle and roll every bump in the road
Not sure if anyone has found a way to stop these from shaking and letting in water.

I am currently considering how to do this, I have the same problem - a short-door car with the old flappy sidescreens. It's so annoying that I run without sidescreens whenever possible

One option is to fit the Librands sidescreen steadies, which are reputed to work very well, but I'm a bit concerned about intrusion on arm space. I've got a set, but not fitted them yet as it requires drilling the the doors, so it's a one-time thing if you don't want to end up with holes in the leather.

Another option may be to fit the new windscreen rubbers, but to get the old-style sidescreens to fit into them the sidescreen rubbers would need to be cut back to about half their existing width so the rubber is thick enough (and therefore stiff enough) to move over the lip of the windscreen rubber rather than sticking on the outside of it.

I ordered the "new rubber stripes" from MorganPark.
I have to say, one of the best parts I bought for my Morgan!!

MorganPark also told me, that A lot depends on just how close your front screen edge sits in relation to the windscreen return edge as to the seal fitting ok.

Now I am very happy that I tried it!!

Measure twice cut and trim and importantly stick once.

Quite a nice mod but depending on your doors and side screens not all cars will benefit as the fit can vary.

Nice clear photo that Jay thanks, will take a look at my side screen fit today. They look like they would benefit from a smear of black silicon sealant on the top where they are cut off to prevent them acting as sponges?

It's closed cell neoprene foam, Uther. It doesn't absorb water, so you can happily leave it exposed.
