Rally Pack 2000 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Boy that would be a really rare item! Is it for a 2 door or 4 door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caprimk1v4 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi, I actually have 3 of them, but the other 2 are Tobacco Brown, and I have Escort MK2 Ghia,s with Brown roofs, so they will be spares for them. I am not sure if this is 2 or 4 door version to be honest, I will have to see if I can cross reference the part number !!??, what would you say is the most different part, I would guess at maybe the rear pillar !!??, one is bound to be wider than the other, and I am too lazy to go and measure them, but if the 2 door had a wider rear pillar, I guess a 2 door could be adjusted by cutting to fit, but not the other way around !!??. I have it in my head, that when I see re-runs of the "PROFESSIONALS", I am sure Doyles white RS2000, the black vinyl roof stops at the very top of the "A" post/windscreen pillar, I might be wrong, I would have to look at an episode with the car in shot, but my Escort Ghia,s, the vinyl roof on the windscreen pillar comes all the way down to the bottom and level with the windscreen rubber, off now to look for my DVD,s of the PROFESSIONALS. (Sad bugger me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caprimk1v4 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Cheers Guy,s, some nice pic,s of the required cars, so I was correct about the white RS2000 stopping short on the windscreen pillar, it is not in shot on the yellow one. Only one thing for it, I will have to take it out of the box for a look-see, but I will have to wait until the wife is home, I will never get it back in the box, or if I did manage to get it back in, you can bet your life my cat will have got in the box before the vinyl roof did !!??, and once in, she don't like being told to get out, and at £155.00 posted, I ain't throwing in a free PUSSY !!??, but you can have the wife for free, scare all the burglars away that one.

Rally Pack 2000 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 @dt36 Dales yellow RS2000 has the vinyl go all the way down the A pillar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caprimk1v4 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Why on earth Ford have different "A" pillar lengths on vinyl roofs I don't know, I much prefer the full "A" post covered, make's it look more even left to right, perhaps the short one's are fitted as a retro fit, rather than factory fit one, that would be fitted before the glass went in, I don't know, all I know is, that if you have a vinyl roof covered Escort, there is a fair bit less to have to polish !!??.

caprimk1v4 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 If the vinyl on the front "A" pillar looks as though it has got a hem at the bottom of it (looks like it is folded over & stitched), then it is a Ford original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 From the pics I’ve just looked at they’re should be two hems on the front A post, one at top of screen and one at the bottom. If you do find it’s a two door one, I’ll have it please. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caprimk1v4 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi, No prob, will get it out tonight with the wife (The vinyl roof you smutty minded git's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and have a look, I would prob say it will be 4 door, more common to have one for a 4 door on the spares shelf of a closed down Ford dealership, but who know,s. ??!!.

All our vinyl roofs had full length A pillar covering from the factory. The short version seems to be a UK only thing. I would be curious to know if this is original or not?
