Rear Window and Trunk Latch..
Just a quick update to show how the rear window turned out with the boarder black added, and a pic of the rear latching mechanism on the rear half of the trunk lid. When the T-handle is rotated, the rods extend and pass through holes in the body flange surrounding the trunk opening. Works really well! I used some heim joints left over from my IDF linkage along with some Ľ” aluminum rod, then made up some cardboard patterns for the center anchoring bracket and propeller (for lack of a better term), and then had it fabricated out of aluminum sheet.
