Rear windscreen protection

I made my own with suction cups, about $60 for 2mm polycarbonate and about 80 cents each for the cups.. I will try to post a photo whan i get home 2nite. Michael

I have been looking into this as well.

I am looking at a product from Altrex ( www.altrex.com.au)

I have no idea how good they are but they responded to a query the next day - better than most so worth a look.

Apparently Autopro stock it ($130)

Prior/still considering the suction cup idea but am having trouble finding them or at least ones that will hold.

Gday Craig,

Check these out

Have one of these for the 100 series. Got it given to me. looks like a good product.

Craig, I bought two of those square plastic mats (without the holes) from clark rubber with jigsaw edges so that you can join them up together plus about 500 mm of 50mm wide velcro sticky tape which I cut into squares, stuck one to the mat, one in each corner and the opposite to the rear windows( troopy has two)....I was able then to place or remove the protection as I needed to....when you apply them to the rear windows, the centre meshes up so you end up with full protection.....when I stop and need to get into the back, I only have to remove the left hand side one...I travelled the GCR to Alice then up to Kakadu...then across to GRR and back down the coast with no problems at all while towing a pioneer camper trailer....The mats measure 620x620x12mm

Craig,

It really is quite easy to make up your own from bits and pieces sourced at Bunnings or similar.

I found this thread by Moggs (who I think posts here as well??)

Home made rear window guard

I made some for the 105 and they work great. No problems...total cost about $100. Polycarbonate was about $70 and I needed 3 packets of the "dual lock fasteners" and they are $10 each (ouch) but worth it and half the price of commercial ones.

Cheers,

Mark

It is a good idear to try and prevent the stones from
hitting the back of your
4wd all together,use good
mud flaps or some other deflection device as well.
I had my rear window covered but the paint and body work
got a hammering and cracked tail lights even a rock
through the vinyl spare tyre cover.

You could put a stone guard on the camper

Craig I just bought a rear window saver from Mike at Obies Outback Products. Easy to order $200 delivered up to Qld for me.http://www.obiesoutback.com.au
You could make one ourself if your rear window is flat but if not don't bother more hassel that its worth.

Good Luck Derek

I cut some of that clear plastic you find on awnings on your patio.
It's quite heavy. Just taped it with grey gaffer tape and used eucalyptus oil to get rid of the marks afterward.
Went up to Birdsville and out to Lawn Hill and whilst I had plenty of stones ( including one as big as my fist) sitting on the spare tyre there was no damage done. Cost about 5 bucks!

Bunnings sell flat laser lite sheeting same as you use for your patio etc but FLAT.

It is only about 1.5mm think but fitted with suction cups will be fine.

Gday tried most window protectors.
Velcro gets wet and gooey not good glue.
Now use ALTREX hedlite protectors .Not wide enough stick on ,stay on no worrys at all.
