Once again our Star Member Alan Donowho has come to the rescue of all MIDAS Mk 1, 2 and 3′s owners by locating a source of Heated Rear Hatches, an impossible to replace fragile part. He has asked the club to let you know the present situation. This is a ONCE OFF offer as it takes a huge amount of his time to organise, please support him as you will kick yourselves if your car has to some off the road because of a broken hatch at some time in the future. He writes the following.-
At long last I can confirm the price for brand new Heated Rear Hatches which fit all Mk 1, 2 and 3 cars except the convertible.
The price is £135.00 collected from a place to be arranged.
The hatches will be made of brand new toughened glass, predrilled with the five holes. They will also have a new heated element printed onto the inner surface of the glass. The edges will be screen printed with small black dots just like a modern screen. The purpose of the dots is to hide the rubber seal on which the glass sits. I think it may be possible to order some hatches without these dots and the screen printing if you so wish.
The less good news is that I need to obtain fifty orders within a short period ( a bit of a tall order but we can do it if we try.) I believe that I have orders for some nine hatches already. Remember that we achieved 30 items on the first ordering of Heated Front Windscreens.
So here we go again, a once and only opportunity to obtain a new hatch, please express your interest via the thread on the Midas Forum or email Alan directly.
