Hi all, I trust that you all have had a pleasant Christmas and New Year. I have the good fortune to have a family who buys me parts for my cars rather than socks and one such gift was a rear screen seal from East Kent. I have been putting this job off as I was dreading having to cut and mitre the bottom corners. Imagine my delight when I unwrapped a one piece rear seal. When did they change over to one piece? Even their web site said it was still a cut length that you had to glue. Anyway I thought I'd share my good news, although many of you already know I'm sure.
Regards, Dave.

The proof will be in the fitting
- must admit the corners look good - if you could get the corners and some "off the roll" it may be a solution to the HC Estate rear screen rubber

No it wouldn't. Estate rear screen rubbers have a very special bottom corner in that the screen had 'squarish' corners but the opening in the tailgate has round corners. So the rubber has a pocket in it for the screen to sit in and a rounded inner lip to fit into the opening. It also has moulded rounded top corners to be able to fit neatly into the very tight curve of the top corners.

I fitted one of these, is an ok fit but corners are not the best really... especially at the bottom on the Firenza.
I got a company to fit mine as I wanted to make sure its right. Will dig out some pictures for you all.
