Default Rear Window Louvers

Anyone sporting rear window louvers on their coupe ? I have a set of what I was told where Goss Factory louvers (?) which I'm considering installing. My concern it putting holes in the roof and sail panel to attachment as well as how they look installed. Anyone have pics of them installed ?

Thanks
Leon

Got em on both our cars. Hoping to find one for the 3rd too. Mind you, ours are aftermarket aungers. Don't need to drill the roof. See if I have any pics from the back of the cars. I personally like the look but I am a bit old school

these are mine


had/have the aungers - they kept blowing off - at least the original bolt on and stay there - if you do the hinges properly they can be made so they will never leak if that is your concern

Yes, leaks are a big concern. I have the rubber nut inserts for the front. What is done to keep the rear studs from leaking ?

I like the sound of your nut washer - are you able to Post a pic of that setup? - Don't worry found it Google my friend!

I use a captured nut with medium set liquid thread seal on the hinge

On the lower pass through bolts I use a large epdm commercial roofing washer

Looking at those rubber nut inserts - they could be the go on the lower pas through bolts as well

Take the rubber nut insert - delete the Internal thread and use a the washer and wing nut as per oem to clamp it tight creating the seal from underneath

Thought I'd post a pic of the rubber nut for the top louver screw.
