Ive resprayed the car got the head lining in and need the front screen in but cant find a windscreen lace anywhere. Does anyone know another option to hold the head lining in around the front screen. Thanks

Fix yours, and rust proof it with some POR-15 Or, try and make one out of several sections of undamaged laces, if you can get your hands on some second hand ones Alternatively get rid of the lace and try and glue the headlining in but this can look a bit dodgy

I could not find anywhere to get a new one from when I was looking about a year ago. I ended up reusing mine.

and yes this did work. i have now removed windscreen two times with out having to cut out the rubber. just had to trim 10mm off one side of the rubber to expose enough of the windscreen metal surrounds for glue. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
