Default xj6 series 3 rear venetian

Hi All, I am looking to get a venetian screen for my series 3 and it seems they are only made for series 1 and 2, I asked the manufacturer of screens if they thought it could be made to fit a series 3 and they were not much help, if the screens were similar size between series 2 and 3 I would have a go at modifying one to fit, that the series 3 screen is more upright would not impact too much, does someone have a series 2 on the gold coast that i could compare to, or someone have a series 2 and 3 and could take a few measurements ? any help would be appreciated

series 3 rear screen measures 550 mm high, 1190 mm wide at the top approx and 1390 mm wide at the bottom approx (measured side to side just before the radius), does anyone have a series 2 they can take the measurements on so I can compare, thanks

I'll give it a go. I have a 1985 S3 and the front/rear glass is still downstairs. I tried to adjust slightly to rule out the trim that is still glued on, but here's what I come up with (+- 1/4").

Middle height= 584.2mm (measured straight up from bottom trim seam)
Top width= 1238.25mm (measured about 4" down from top of glass)
Bottom width= 1397mm (measured at bottom heating wire in glass)

Using 25.4 as conversion from inch to mm and following the contour of the glass, not straight across from point to point. Hope this is some help.

You mean I was supposed to read the whole post?? Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part, at least now you know the dimensions of my glass.

Outside of rear glass,rubber to rubber:
Bottom, apex of curve to apex of curve, 56" more or less, as I had the old blind guy helping.
Top, outside, apex to apex, 48" same caveat as above.
Top to bottom, rubber to rubber, 22"

I think the Series 2 is significantly small than S3 in all directions.
