Upper tailgate glass dimensions

fellow forumites,

I am after a better/ more detailed drawing of the upper tailgate glass. Really hoping one of you legends can assist?





I have this one but it will not aid me in getting a sheet of perspex laser cut to the exact dimensions. I am wanting to make a window protector out of perspex that will protect the rear window from stones bouncing off a trailer in tow Smile

You have to build a precise cardboard model using the rear window as a reference model (you are lucky because the glass has a visible profile).

Remember that the Perspex model should be 1.5 - 2 mm smaller to avoid detachements.

Also remember that if you use the rear window wiper, the Perspex will be completely lined up within a few months.

The safety layer in shatterproof glass (eg police cars) is always positioned inside (and is polycarbonate)

When we make a model for a new armoured car windows we do as I wrote.

That makes perfect sense, I will do that.

This will be a removable solution which only gets fitted when I am towing a trailer so dont mind it getting lined up a bit.

How did you attach it to the window? Im looking at using several little squares of 3M Dual lock
