My side screen panels are getting scratched. Does anyone know of a product to remove the scratches before I change them.

Thanks I have placed my order. I have spare perspex screens as I got 4 cut 5 years ago but will try this first.

Or you can try Brasso - it works fine, but needs some ellbow grease.

As said Brasso is the stuff, and a hand held wizzy thing (dremel etc) makes the job a lot easier.

Does anyone know what adhesive is used to glue on the finger catch to slide the rear window. I think they would be pretty easy to make.

I was led to believe that the finger catch is not glued on, but it is a hole cut through the perspex through which the "catch" snugly fits!

Methylene Chloride is a liquid which glues plexiglas. The glue should be available at hardware stores that handle plexiglas. A syringe or brush should be used to apply.
There is a youtube on how to glue plexiglas.
I have the same problem with my sliders. Two of the tabs are missing so I will have to glue some on. No holes in my plexi/perspex.

No holes in mine, a tab is stuck on each rear window, to slide it back with your fingers.

I don't know how the stuff Vitruvius recommends works. I used a common glue for hard plastic (UHU). The trick was to spread it on the tab very evenly because every irregularity (?) is clearly visible through the plexiglass.
