I don't have side screens or the door mountings. Binned in 1987.

Like you, I have only recently started driving sidescreen-less. For me, it's a No. A Morgan deserves to not have wind-up windows, because (a) trad Morgans are roadsters and are conceived to not have weather-protection, and (b) something else to go wrong.... In my TVR ownership days, the most enjoyable were the ones with (as in removable) sidescreens. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/06/21/3000S-on-Cranborne-Chase-Summer-2007.md.jpg) I was reading an Interview / article about the bloke who invented Wolfrace wheels last week  Crikey he got those out quick !

I drilled & tapped the lower aluminium channels in the sides screen to take flat head knurled screws, this stopped the rattles and provides some additional security when parked with the hood up. That's a very good idea! Land Rovers had something similar with their S3 Military Door tops. Mine are very loose and slide open, so will be doing something like this over the weekend. Job done ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/06/26/IMG_20220626_145226.md.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/06/26/IMG_20220626_145151.md.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://tm-img.com/images/2022/06/26/IMG_20220626_145113.md.jpg)

First clean-out the channels, using a cotton bud. Then use another (clean) one to apply some WD40. Works for me.

A nice looking compromise is to drive side screens off but hood on. It looks quite rakish but the hood billows a lot at speed.

A bit like this.... great for when Autumn comes along (after all, the evenings are drawing-in now....) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2022/06/26/2009-Morgan-Roadster---front.jpg)
