Errr... yeah... trunk... those are useful, especially for long trips, where you would particularly want a boat-tail.
Since I left it at home and drove to my parents' without it, here comes Windows Paint!
So sorry...
First of all, I need to figure out how to redo the bike rack, I thought that the "vertical" bars would extend beyond the template, but the cross bar and top joint does.
Red is the Kamm-back, which would need to be shorter, because the trunk swings further forward. Purple is the bike rack, blue is some kind of magical-mystical PVC frame that will rule the world, and that lovely lime green is the detachable Kamm-back.
The idea is that the red part stays mounted, I load my trunk, attach the bike rack, and win!
Another idea that I have had is to make the full Kamm-back, cut out the portion directly above the trunk and put it on a hinge, with a fastener. Maybe I could use something like Christofoo's technique.
