Now you might be asking yourself why I chose to go through all the trouble of making my own screens when there are folks with soft tops using them all day long. The reason for this is that the Lemans Hard Top has a different window opening profile than the standard Cobra Soft Top does.

Turned out, modifying the soft top frames was more trouble than it was worth and I aborted that option. Here’s a picture showing the cardboard pattern sitting in the side window opening followed by a picture of the soft top frame sitting next to it. The difference in the rear profile is pretty clear..
