Default Rear Blind 401

Dear Greg,
The replacing of the rear window was not my main interrogation but thank you very much for your advices on the easiest way to replace it on our beloved cars. My intention was to reinstall a wooden fillet but I will seriously consider your idea. I attached to this message a picture of the remaining’s of my fillet (width 0.8 inch/2 cm and thickness ? I suppose 0.3 inch/7 mm – to be tested on the car).
Once the job made I will certainly post a little description (with pictures) of the solution that I will finally choose. My 401 is luckily in very original condition but a bit “tired” in some places (water was coming in the boot). I’m trying to maintaining it as original as possible but it has to be usable even in rainy circumstances, so I took the decision to solve this problem. By dismantling the headlining, I found the remaining’s of the wooden fillet, the screws (2 different types) and nails (3 different types). As described in my first message, my main interrogation is the correct way to reinstall the rear blind (connecting of the wire cables).
I wish you all the best for your 403
Nuitonie
