I am about to have the rear windscreen re-glazed but the parts book shows just "screws" doesn't show the size/s. I guess they should be self-tappers. Before I make the commitment does anyone know the compatible screw sizes please.

Indeed Eric, I checked online shortly after my last reply and JRW state in Blue highlighted lettering that they will only supply the kit which costs £52 I think if you buy a screen rubber off them or have bought one off them in the past due to low volume of stocks of the kits.
The only thing I can suggest you do Eric is take one of your current screws to a hardware or iron mungers and match them that way. We have a fastenings place in Swindon who I use all the time for my nuts and bolts.
Good luck Eric

haha - that was my point Brendan. The guy doing the work is 30 miles away and in the countryside. Bit late when he has taken the screen out to find we dont have any replacements! If i knew the size I would put a pack of 50 in the car! I cant tell if the single screw illustrated is the right specification or size.

Hi - after some years I found a guy near Guildford who removed the rear screen and refitted it with my provided new rubber gasket. Way over the price I had hoped for but in the end - if needs must you have to face it. Clips are available but scarce but this guy already had screws to hand.
About 10 years ago a guy near Eastleigh did both front and rear of my 3-litre at a third of the current price for the one. He has since retired and was one of those who offered but didn't seem enthusiastic and hasn't returned my calls.
I can put you in touch with both if you would email me.
As for screens, although new ones for Rover P5s are available at a price, the coupe rear screen is just not so that will need to be a salvage one.

JRW wont provide screen kits unless you buy or have bought a screen from them.
