Why not also fit the same sort of fixings that the opening rear quarters have to the rear window, at least also you could open it up and get more air in, nd pop it shut when parked up up, just a suggestion

i seen one of them old VW camper vans the other day, where the front windscreens actually open right out and up, look fooking ace

Jano, do you not think that having holes in the rear screen will draw in exhaust gases?
I had opening rear 1/4 perspex on my FRST but changed them cos they weren't very good and flapped about at high speed.

It was second hand, i paid a low amount imo as i like it so much.



To use it you need a rear screen of some kind tho.

I will be taking the rear persex out (Again ) and re cutting larger holes under most/all the fins to allow more airflow.
