Early cars.

A lovely flat, low line folded hood on an early S1 is one of the main attractions but since having it remade it’s lost it.

So, can any of you help me establish where the issue is.

Seems to me that the glass doesn’t invert (fold down low enough) mine now doesn’t go further than horizontal.

Any help appreciated.

Is it the height that the window is placed in the rear panel that puts it in a different position. Just trying to suggest an idea?


Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

That’s exactly what I thought might be an issue. Not allowing it to fold down

I need to measure another

It might be worth sending your picture through to Sean ?

I expect he'll want to get the right answer too.

Yeah I’ve spoken to John there who is relaying it to Sean.

It’s a fair distance for me to run up there so just doing some homework.
