    Thinking of making "L" brackets,polished and add double sided tape. Part of the bracket goes underneath the glass moulding. The upper ones act like hinges and lower ones act like lock hold down. You can lift the louvers to clean rear glass ..no drawings, just making things as I go ...

    Dont forget to take a lot of pictures if you can. When you are done, post all of them in a separate thread as an exterior tech article? I know I will take a close look.

    Got it out and drove around a while. Took it to a friends shop, had a anti-rattle clip replaced on the right rear brake, checked to A/C and tightened up the front wheel bearings. Drives really nice now, getting it cleaned up and ready for the Gathering!!!
