Fitted some rubber strips on the arches to keep the tread covered trying to keep it legal, welded up the holes in the boot, trimmed the arches a little stop some scrubbing, now just gotta refit my rear seats and plastics.

Mine were a bugger, they look lack but do the job. Every bit of debris within 20yards of where I was working ended up between the window and the film.

For what it is worth, I think it's easier if you make the brackets to go back and up and use 4 extra nuts and bolts to hold the runners to the new brackets. I went up 3+" and back a couple of inches but steering wheel permitting it is up to you as to the height you go to.

Finished up my spot lights on the roof bars! Bodged up some brackets so I got the length to bring the lights forward. Just need to spray them black and finish the wiring to the switch. Next is the rear working light!
