Question 83 liftback: hail killed my louvers

A monster hailstorm a few weeks ago (we were declared a disaster area!)
beat my metal rear liftback louvers like so much aluminum foil. Any suggestions where to find new ones? Actually, I'd like to replace with heavy plastic is possible, the metal ones tended to rattle a bit.

But I love my baby! Had it since 84!

thanks,

Woah buddy.... What are you talking about?
Were you drunk when you typed this bastard out?

Do you have pictures of the damage?

watch ebay they come up from time to time.

problem is nobody makes louvers for 3rd gens anymore so your limited to NOS and used parts. just recently there was a set up on ebay with the side quarter louvers for around $200+ship

shipping is a monster as the rear hatch louvers are almost as big as a hatch.

if you were local (seattle) i have a mostly ok rear louver, but im not really willing to ship it. too time consuming right at this moment. but hit me up in a month or so and i might be willing to deal with it then.

good luck
