I will have to come up with fasteners screwed to the underside of my wind blocker bought from LBCARCO. Maybe lift-the-dot fastener and studs will do. Meanwhile, a 1 inch pvc pipe is doing the job.

I used the drain hole brackets down in the body just behind the doors as sockets to put the 5/16 steel rods into. I bent the rod to get the right angles to hold the bottom frame down against the tonneau support frame and added a couple straps with snaps that could snap to the snaps already on the tonneau to make sure it doesnt come loose. The bottom frame is made of 2 pieces of 3/4 × 1 oak with a piece of oak cove moulding attached to the bottom of the front one to fit over the tonneau frame rail. The "glass" is a piece of 1/8" lexan 9" x 38" sandwiched between the 2 oak pieces. I made mine 38 inches wide so it can be stowed on or under the parcel shelf whan not in use.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div id="composer_signature"><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.5pt;color:#575757'>Sent from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S10e.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
