Looking for advice. I have defender 90 TDi 1999. Roof been removed. Roll cage fitted plus drainage channels. Got an Exmoor canvas but just can’t get it right. Is the rail at top of windscreen suppose to stop short or go all the way across? See attached photo. Ignore the paint job that will get fixed.

MIne tilt goes all the way across into the gutters, the rail is short of the gutters . If it is a new tilt then it will more than likely shrink a little , so make sure it is tightly roped down.

Cheers
 
Neilly thanks but it’s the top rail that the canvas sits in I am concerned about. It seems really short and the water gets in between the gutter channel’s and the top rail. Does yours have this gap. You can see the gap in the picture.
 
Neilly thanks for the picture. I think I have the wrong side gutters or they are fitted too far back. They seem too short compared to yours.

Thanks for the help.

See photo, you can see the end of the rail. I see you still have the foam on top of the screen frame, I took mine off.
