hi all, can anyone suggest the simplest way to protect a prardo's rear window from stone damage which bounce off the front of the towed van? cheers

Many great ideas and I am about to remake my stone guard. This is the one I have at the moment. A layer of clear PVC (Bunnings) 2 layers of
grey boat carpet (Bunnings) and a layer of
grey PVC (to match the car colour). Sew together with velcro on the back. The velcro on the glassis Velcro (brand only) "Sure Grip or True Grip". It will not come of with the outback heat where others will.
In this way you can just take it off and put it on, as many times as you want.
If you have a 200, the rear window is $2900 to replace. Yes.. toyota have caught with Mercedes and BMW at screwing (can I use that word) you for parts.
To prove it works, I showed my wife it, by throwing a
rock at the back window. I missed, and hit the car itself. That was not good.
