Topaz Parapress Window

I'm certain that this has been covered here before (because I can recall the discussion of the inadequacies of the design, which requires a rubber piece to take up the twist). IIRC a solution was found, but I can't recall the details. A forum search may find the thread if you can think of the right search terms.

I had the same problem with a Topaz.  Failed to obtain a replacement connector from AS or anywhere else.  Eventually made a replacement from a piece of 1/8th thick neoprene sheet  which  lasted about six years till I sold the vehicle. Not that we opened that particular window very often!
I removed the two end pieces and used them as a pattern for cutting the replacement. Used some glue to hold the end in the strut and repeated the AS fastening method at the fixed end.

Thanks Mojo, I have spent an enjoyable hour searching the forum with negative result. I will try other search parameters but think I will thave a go at fettling one as suggested by Keith, however I am still open to other suggestions.

It was probably one of Keith's posts - what he says above sounds almost identical to what I remember!
