Rear Window Restore Info
(This info refers to 68-72 nova rear window to trunk panel replacement)

Step # 1, Window Panel Removal  
When the rear window of the my 71 nova was removed, rust was found as expected. Several spots were rusted clear through and several other spots were well pitted (shown in the first picture). Since, I was unable to weld up the holes, I chose to replace the entire panel. This panel sits between the rear window and the trunk. When the trunk is closed, this panel is completely hidden. This area is usually referred to as the Package tray area. The second picture (bottom right) shows this piece almost cut out.
Step # 2, Cleaning and Preparing the surface  
This is the remaining panel underneath. This will need to be clean and painted to prevent and stop the rust.
Step # 3, Installing the new panel  

Here is the new panel purchased from J&W Nova Parts.

The new panel is set in place ready to be secured.

Under Construction.....
