Clean both surfaces with glass cleaner/metho & let them set for a day.
There is another type of velcro used in the car industry that is about $100 a roll of 20M. I usd to use this when i worked in the VicPolice..excellent stuff but just dear.;)

Hi Guys,

I have an '85 Range Rover with the rear window being pretty flat.

I like the previous idea of using the rear louvre fittings in that you can easily remove and replace the perspex protector to clean the glass behind if you need to.

A possible variation on that theme is to use these very strong lever type suction cups fitted through the perspex. I dont know if it will work but will have a go in the next few weeks if time permits.

All our trips so far have been as a solo vehicle, no trailer, but am aiming to tow a caravan in the reasonable future so am looking ahead a bit.;)

Cheers, techron

I have a sheet of perspex for my RRC .
First year I used velcro but found the glue became soft in heat.
Second year I used a 3M product which is clear and looks like half a dog bone, which lock together. You could buy it on ebay in short lengths.

I also sealed around the edges with Raven draft seal to prevent dust from getting between the glass and perspex.Overall it worked very well. A couple of the 15mm square patches let go , but I just replaced the bad ones.

My tailgate is destroyed but the window is fine.

Has anyone tried the Rocktamers About Us

I've seen these at the camping shows and actually saw a vehicle in Kalgoorlie with a set fitted a while back - but haven't been able to get an opinion on them from anyone other than a salesman so far.

I like the ability to be able to quickly install and remove them from the vehicle, but don't really know how effective they are.
