Rear Window Slats

Can anyone get a line on rear window slats for a 1974 Laguna?? I'm betting that no one has made these in a million years but I would love to have a set for my "Retro-Touring" Laguna! Thanks!

U mean the louvers for the opera windows? Dcastine has a set for sale he just posted not long ago.

No buddy I mean the old style slat louvers that went over the back window. I had a set on my 77 Malibu Classic and I wish I hadn't sold them with the car. For that matter, I wish I hadn't sold the car!! This is probably one of those items I will never see again...Thanks though!

Didn't even know those were made for these cars, always thought they were snagged off the F-body cars. Nice!

Yes they were made for our cars & I want to say that I saw them as a dealer option. I know RPO "DE1" is code for rear shade or rear window louvers in some models, not sure if it was available for us though. Summit racing makes them, but not for our cars.

They would sure help keep the car cooler in summer, and keep sunlight off of the upholstery.

NO FAIR Limey!!! Where did you find that rarity?? I know in 86 that they were available for our cars from JC Whitney. I was cheap and didn't fork over the dough! if anybody sees a set of these, please let me know?!? Thanks for the pic Limey. Too Cool!

Well I was offered them first from HDHugger and I drug my feet getting them, she sold them to Biomedtech

I had a 77 'Bu back in the mid eighties, I bought a set of those from JC Whitney, always thought they really looked good and like the post above wish I never got rid of the car...

That would be awesome Captain S-3! Thank You!

Hmmm, I outta take these to a buddy of mine that owns a machine shop and see if he can repro these cheaply....

by 74Guna on Fri Oct 28, 2011 8:10 am

Now you're thinking! They can't be that complicated right? You could even save costs to yourself by boxing up the parts and make them an owner assembled item...

That's so funny, because we were sick of those back window louvers sitting around the basement. We thought about scrapping them because we couldn't find a buyer....but then I thought about how rare they are and decided to keep them around for a bit longer. Glad you snapped them up, Bio!
