RE: Rear window Louvers
Yeah those are Astra Hammond ones. Extensive thread over at http://forums.bradbarnett.net/showthread.php?t=61067
I've only driven mine a couple of times since installed. No rattles. I was missing some nylon nuts out of the box, I called WIllPak (Astra's parent co.) and they UPS'ed out an entirely new hardware kit. Free shipping too. Sorry no pictures yet.

RE: Rear window Louvers
Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it.
just 2 more questions for those with the aluminum astra-hammonds:
1. how easy is the install?
and
2. how easy are they to pop off when I need to clean under them?
