So, I had gone to bed, but sleep is a tricky thing for me. I definitely wanted a good night's sleep, I have my last final in nine hours. Having studied for six days, I failed my first final, earned a D on the next, really hope that I did well on Monday's, and that I do well on Wednesday. I am trying to improve my grades, but they are only going down!
So, I had better get to the point!
I had long about how one would do something like this. 2000Neon attached his with rivets and perhaps NoD would be up for it, or perhaps using bolts, but many of us prefer temporary modifications. I read through WeatherSpotter's build threads, but he has a hatchback.
Perhaps it was because I thought about carrying around a windshield by those suction cups, but I thought about the need to seal an addition to the rear window. You can attach weatherstripping, but would there be a way to attach it by suction?
While I like the idea, I do not see how you could achieve that while retaining rearward visibility.
The other thing is that I have had the idea of cutting a trunk lid in half. If you make a hatch, you could attach it to the bottom half and use your stock taillights. If you remove the top of the trunk (this would be a hatchback, after all) and you have a vertical window above the rear of the trunk, you could hinge that, put it on struts, and have some access to your trunk.
NoD and I discussed that this was kind of like making an aerocap, but more complicated. Maybe you could have the trunk fold down, like a tailgate, the window fold up, like on a topper, how would you reach your trunk?
What if you had a slide-out shelf?
