Aerodynamic rear window cover?

[coltonandrew]

Hello!

Last time I was on here, I was eco modding a 93 Astro van. My chore today is the 97 Saab 900 turbo 2.0 inline 4.

Browsing around at some images, I unintentionally revisited a childhood icon: The rear window cover on the DeLorean from Back to the Future. *edit I actually don't know if the thing was on the DeLorean or not, see below.

I think most of you know what I'm talking about, but if not, I will try to explain.

Multiple Kammabacks all the way down the rear window of a car with gaps for visibility.

I am not sure what these are called, but looking at the Saabs CD (.34) I think I could shave a .05 off of that with some light modding.

My question is this: What is the name of that rear window mount? I can not find it under the multiple search criteria's of rear/ back window cover/mount aerodynamic and I don't really know what else to search to get the thing on my screen haha

Thank you!

You guys are awesome That's it exactly.

Now if only they were made for my year

I wouldn't worry since that piece does nothing for the aerodynamics. You'd be better off with a venetian blind inside the glass. The reason it works on the Delorean is there is a vertical backlight, so it turns a notchback into a fastback, sort of...

I believe they were just for style and to block the sun while still letting you see out. I know as far back as 1970 Plymouth had them from the factory on some Barracudas.
