Rear Window Louvers

[Cruizer67]

I recently attended a swap meet and found a rear window louver set. This is a steel set that seems to have been glued or bonded to the rear hatch glass. Any one know what was used to Bond it to the glass ? Also the only part that was missing is the screw that goes in and lock it down on the sides. Any idea where to find them as well. Here is a photo of the louvers just sitting on the glass and help is greatly appreciated

I didn't know they were glued on, I'd like to have a set but I don't think I'd want to glue them on, how good can you see out the back glass with them on?

They should have hinges for the top.

Gotta be something like this http://www.americanmuscle.com/hatchback-louvers-8793-install.html

there is a hinge its one long plate from left to right and is about 1.5 inches wide there nothing bolts on just seems that everything was bonded to the window I am sure there is a bonding agent that works just wondering what it is
I will take a better photo of them tonight when I get home from work for 10 bucks couldn't pass up the deal

I tow cars, a lot of cars, stangs being rwd they will be towed from the back most of the time, rear window louvers WILL become detatched and possibly damage the roof of the car not to mention wadding up your louvers. Even when properly secured, they can't take the air pressure from the wrong direction.
Now that you've been warned, sell them roof distroy'n, paint hating pieces of tin to me.

Karthief, I don't think I would be able to live with myself if I were to allow you to install them and then have something happen to your ride, I will bite the bullet and just have to destroy them so no one else will have to worry about them ever again.. then again I'm not planning on being towed unless its on a flat bed so I should be safe..
