Now I have used my wagon for a while now I would have to say the tail gate set-up is crap (bottom folding over the top), there for have you thought about making it a one piece tail gate? That way you can sink the glass into the bottom, same as the side glass , Trev .

I guess Mark would need to decide, but I always found the quirky set up kind of endearing to these old girls.

based on my previous wagons, id keep it 2 piece. I like being able to use the tailgate as a chair.

Im not sure if the glass could be sunk down, because when I modified the frame, I cut the top half which has the smaller taper.. meaning if it were moved down the glass would not be wide enough.

Cheers
Ed

either way theres a way out

Very nice work Ed.

hi all ed has fitted up one rear window i will post pictures when i get home from melbourne cheers mark

I'm not sure if Mark was going to post some pics.. so here are some more.

With some careful planning you can use the cargo glass without cutting it.

i havent finsihed up the channel yet... this is the glass propped in place with some rubber seal to get the position correct.

Top work Ed! Really looks good.

Thanks DR, progress has slowed but still making progress.


Cheers

Looking good ED.
are you going to modify the original rubber to run along the bottom? Trev .

Trev,

The plan is to use glue along the lower edge, with the std seal modified to cover the glue so it will look factory.

i'm making a return edge on the cut to give it some strength and a surface to glue the glass.

Cheers

Ed

Graet work ED
