The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I guess it would look odd. Ideally I'd want to see one someone else has done on a Mk1 hatchback then decide if it looks acceptable…ManicGTI said

Did you have to stick it right in the middle of the window then? Do you mean centred, but right at the top or bottom?chudd said
Hella made one that fitted in the centre of the rear window using sticky pads , i sold a new old stock one at Pod last year for a fiver . It was a 1982 kit .
Worth doing for a daily driver with today's divvi drivers
Yeah it's an all-year-round daily driver, otherwise I wouldn't even bother considering it.

I guess putting it at the bottom of the window on a Mk1 would be better, where the dealer sticker goes…then it won't obscure anything? The hatch window is so damn big compared to modern cars though, I don't mind a bit of an interrupted view.Early-1800 said
The other thing was that it blocked a bit of view of the centre middle of the road in the rear view mirror.

Ive fitted one and it's ace. It's so much safer with high cars that can't see my piddly brake lights!

Cabby or tintop if a cabby look for a US boot lid then looks us style as they were oem, however US tintops didn't have them which is odd

That is because it wasn't law in 83 when they stopped making mk1s
That's because the law for 3rd light wasn't in effect in 84….or before.
