    Default Anyone near Highland Mi. 48357

    I need to test fit some louvers on a fox hatchback. I'm picking up 5-6 sets and the part number won't come up on a google search. If there is anyone near Milford, Brighton, Ann Arbor area that would be great. It wont do any damage, just set the plastic end pieces on the glass to ensure fitment. My car is at the shop(apx 80 miles away) getting a cage put in is the reason why I ask. Plus if you want a set you can save apx $50 shipping. It's a decent size box.

    Can someone measure the width at the top and the bottom of the hatchback glass and the heighth also? I can lay out the louvers in my garage and take measurements and be reasonably positive they will fit. I'm pretty confident they are correct but Cragar did make these for f-bodies and hondas. And there are not a lot of Hondas in these parts especially in Detroit. Thanks

    Measurements are @ due to the curvature of the glass and the difficulty in measure by myself.

    Top of the glass @ 41" across

    Bottom of glass @ 53" across

    Top to bottom of glass in the middle of the hatch @ 29.5" tall.

    Hope that helps

    I believe the measurements did help. I think they are for the foxbody. Here's some pics. What do you think? These are gonna look cool.

    The shape and the overall measurements look pretty good to me. I would guess they are for the 79-93 Fox with a flat hatch rear glass. Awesome Find!

    Now you're making me think I want one for my Foxes!

    BTW. These have the mounting hardware and are hinged. They attach to the glass with double sided tape. The tape is included by I would think risky to use because of its age. The buyer will be responsible for purchasing tape. I'm sure there are some very strong tapes manufactured today.

    3M line of Automotive VHB (Very High Bond) double sided tape is generally the best option. I don't generally recommend the 3M double sided tape you find at the local box stores as it generally is not automotive rated.

    Your local paint and body supply or online is the best place to pick up the 3M VHB products.
