Its easy to measure the curve to determine if it is the same as the curve from our back window. Tak a piece of string and secure it to each corner of the window. SO now you have a line straight across the car. The window curves rearwards. At the center of the curve which is also the furthest point rearward, measure the distance between that and the string. That measurement will let you know if our glass curves at about the same rate.

OK, I just measured the distance of the deepest part or the arc and its 4.5 inches. It appears that our windows are curved significantly more than the windows down under. It looks like it wont fit our car.

One going over
I am sending one over to a secret buyer, just having a little problem with the post office as the box is 1.5 Meters high by 30cm wide and they have a problem with that , checking out other shipping options at the moment .. DHL & FED EX are just way too expensive like $350 ..madness ...-v- the post office option which is like $48 well it would be if the box was 20cm shorter ...
If there is a will there will be a way ..
If there is a will there will be a way ..

Normal shipping from Oz to the states is about 10-14 days ...
I'm sending one over to a good bloke , so I hope it fits ..
Just gotta find a way around the damm post office regulations regarding size ect , going to try a small post office instead of the central one , they may give me a break on it , or hopefully the person behind the counter is just not supered up on every smegging regulation in the book, like the last one was.
I have not got paid for it or the like , just thought it would be a nice thing to do, you have to have faith in people some of the time.

Im just unsure if its going to be very noticable after installation? From the top it looks fine but if your standing on the right side looking at it you can tell.

By gthe way, I was checking out the 06 Subaru STi rear roof spoiler today at the dealer. Damn I like that thing!!!! If I can only get it to fit. The wing part seems like its the right size but the uprights on each side would need heavy mods. I wish someone would make a roof spoiler like that to fit. If I click my heels 3 times and say there's no place like home . . . . .
