Rear window
The rear window, which also serves as the luggage-com-
partment lid, is made of toughened glass. One part of the
hinges is screwed directly to the glass and the other is
attached with four screws through the roll bar and body
roof.
The luggage-compartment lid is opened with a handle on
the partition wall behind the left seat. Up to and incl.
model 1972, the lid can be held open, by a stay on the
left side.
As from model 1973, there are telescopical designed
stays, retained in the hinges. The lid can therefore be
put in the desired position, from closed to fully opened.
