Odd question perhaps, but can anyone tell me the height of a Speedster windscreen?
Thanks!

In the middle of writing a Speedster feature and wanted to quote the height. Your measurement is the total height though isn't it? I'm after the specific height of the windscreen from body. Or am I being daft?!
(Thanks for your help by the way!)

The height of 1215mm is the actual glass centre height, not including any frame/ seal.

But surely that is too tall? 1215mm is 121cm (ie over a metre tall) and I'm pretty sure that the glass alone isn't that high! Or, like I say, am I just being dumb and misunderstanding something?

Did you want the height of a 356 Speedster from the ground to the top of the windshield or just the height of the windscreen at its widest (centre) point ?
Windshield itself is 335mm at the centre.
1215mm is the height of the car with the top up (so the height to the top of the screen when the top is down will be a bit lower).

Just the screen itself - 335mm sounds spot on - thank you very much!
