Want more air throgh the car with the T-tops off

I was wondering... Is there any product that I could get for the rear window that would allow the space back there to be open? Convertable feel with t-tops. Like a notchback with removable glass. But I don't like the look of the notchback. What could I do besides takeing the hatch off and figuring out how to carry it around!

Mid America Designs sells something that does this for the C4 and C5 vettes. I do not know where to get one for the F-Bodys. All it does is act like a stable hinge between the latch and the lock...so taht while you have your roof off, the air gets less turbulent when going in, becasue it flows right out. The best thing to do is to go to Mid America's website(i dont have it, but i think its madvet.com) and find their fone # and give them a call..find out if the ones they sell can be adapted to an F-bod, and if not, where you could possibly get them. Or, try JC Whitney...other than that, i am clueless. Anyone else? Hope this helps somewhat.

Anyone have pics of this on a third gen Camaro? I've seen it on a fourth gen and on a third gen firebird, but not on a Camaro. Thanks.

This is more what I'm talking about but where could the hatch go on a long trip! It couldn't be done as for the SportBack I don't like the way it looks at all on Thirdgens! It looks cheesy cause its blockier and the glass is kust a square. This forth gen looks like the back of a.. dare I say it... A del sol
