yep, in my opinion thats exactly what used to happen on my 86 Charleston, the fabric used to pull away from the top edge of the rear window seal. it was a factory hatchback frame too, i always wanted a Chilean or Argentine hatch really anyway, even back in 1994. I remember seeing the photos of above mentioned hatch in a 2cv club flyer back in 1978, at my local citroen agent, Cutmill Garage in Bosham (near Chichester, W.Sx) when they had about 4 Bijous parked out in the back yard.[/quote]


If anybody can lend me a scrap dyane tailgate I'll have a bit of an experiment fitting it to a2cv shell, so we know exactly how to do it.

A man with a plan, I like it..... :)

I would love to see how that conversion goes, I reckon lots of lads would...

Great idea.

a few of us once did a cut down dyane tailgate on a dyane, so it had a roof like 2cv that included the rear window in the roof fabric, the top section of the dyane tailgate was used and the void where the rear window once was was plated up. it was strange to look at at first, but if we finished it off better, it wouldve looked like a strange factory derivative.
