    Default "Retro" rear window for VS ute

    Was cruising around on the mini trucking forums and one guy was looking at installing a rear window that opens on his ute/truck. Long story short ...

    Found this site with the "retro" rear window that opens for my ute .

    Has anyone tried these before or even heard of this mob ?
    and what do people reckon out this mod ?

    you make me want =P

    you should definately do it and let us know how it goes.
    but how well does it actually lock.
    you would probably have to get it tinted.

    tbh its a cheap alternative to a sunroof isnt it =P
    how about we make the pedals out of sticky rubber and the shoes with steel spikes. at least my shins would like that

    I had one of these on a F100 I had years ago. Could not stop I from rattling & in winter, the cold air blows straight down the back of your neck. I ended up glueing the mofo closed with sikaflex.

    I was thinking about these yesterday for a VE since the VE already has the El Camino look to it.
    It would be awesome on hot days, but completly pointless any other time, and I would worry about what showbags said with the rattles, but cant be to hard just to whack the factory window back in if it does.
