Thread: Rear window stone protection for towing

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.
