Just for the newbies - as I am still.

I lost a screw from the A pillars to hold the wind screen.
So I got a new screw set from Melvin Rutters (perfect service!).

Today I tried to fit it and did the same as the previous owner had experienced...

There were two lengths of the screw in the package. One is far too long. The shorter one was perfect - so I thought.

With a tiny "click" sound I had to find out that this one was too long as well. At least a bit.

Will have to put a sticker on that and maybe get a new screen...

So first unscrew one of the other screws and compare the length - otherwise - click it goes...

Sorry to read this Miklos - we have an expression here that goes " the man that never made a mistake never made anything" we all get things wrong occasionally.

It has not been my first mistake - but another one...
Still learning means not dead yet;)

Hi M. Very sorry to hear of your mistake and good luck with the fix. On a brighter note, I am very jealous of your 1992 Peraves ecomobil, I imagine like flying without wings ?
Cheers, John.

Surely Melvin should have got the length right?

Flying 50cm over ground - that´s what it is😎 That´s how the eco works...

Don`n try to get a ride unless you are ready to buy one.
I have been lost to it instantly...

I surely would not blame Melvin...
It is not the first screen as the former owner did the same by fixing the deflector screens.
So maybe the screen itself is not the perfect size within the frame.

I could have been a bit more careful...
