Rear Window on 1984 PT40WL

[bbwlwb88]

Roger: Wanderlodge used the rear cap from the forward control coach
on
the rear of the PT40 in order to save money. In 1985 and 1986 the
factory had lots of complaints about the poor appearance of the
window
in the rear. They came out with a metal panel to cover the window.
I'm not sure if the panel was their idea or a Wanderlodge owner's
idea. In any case what you have in mind should not cause a problem.
My
first Bird was a new 1984 PT40.
