With the return of warmer weather I'm readdressing this project.
I plan to remove the low rear center panel and instead use a Lexan panel going all the way from the rear of the most forward panel that comes off the roof line, extending back to where the current spoiler ends. That's several inches rear of the trunk lid and about 5.5" above it. The step-staggered idea didn't test out as well as I hoped.
Because I can't build a compound curve, I must choose between:
- A straight line front to rear and a raised center
- Or with a straight line left to right, with a gradual downward curve as it goes front to rear.
My guess is the raised center is more helpful, but what do you say?
If you're wondering why not Lexan all the way from the roof to the rear, that's just a cost concern. I'll be saving noticeable $$ by using thin plywood over the roof and forward part of the rear glass.
