Rear Window Stone Deflector

Gazz,

I bought my sheet from Bunnings. May have been 3mm.

I used those clips from the old black rear window sunshades of the 80's; Repco or one of the other Autoparts stores.
My mates has his fixed with sticky velcro.

Cut the vinyl sheet with a fine blade jigsaw. I drilled holes with a new drill bit.

Don't wash it too hard as it will scratch permanently. I take mine off and wash it.

I've made them out of thin corflute before but the only thing I found that works well to stick it to glass are the Aunger Rear Louvre fitting kits. Makes it very easy to remove as well. Bought them in the past from Sprint Auto Parts at Port Adelaide, but you can also buy them on Ebay:

Hi Outback Gazz, From memory, and and will be corrected here, I think poly carbonate sheet is still flexible and soft, and perspex is much harder and more brittle. Perspex can do what you want but scratches much easier, and must be careful when drilling as it could develop hair line cracks if too much force placed on that area. Memory tells me that the polycarbonate will be a much better product. It's been many many years since I have played with this stuff. Hope that is of some help

Hi Gazz

We just use corflute. Taped on for the trip. Disposable when you get home.
The current one we’re using came off a large cable drum cut down to size.
Look closely and you can see stone dints ….

Stone Stomper…..brilliant

I just went to the local $2 shop and bought a padded sunscreen (with an Australian Flag on it!). We sewed a bit of velcro on each side that wraps around the rear window of the Pajero and sticks to some sticky-backed velcro on the trim around the window on the inside of the door. The bottom of the sunscreen is held in place by the rear window wiper and the top of the sunscreen folds under the aerofoil at the top of the backdoor. Has worked perfectly for several years, never fallen off, and cost bugger all! The only thing you can see out of the back window when towing is the van so no loss there.
I do have a stone-guard on the van as well, but we did find the odd stone would hit the A-frame forward of the guard and ping onto the back window of the car so the sunscreen works a treat.
