ABSTRACT:
A vehicular hatchback conversion apparatus (20) for attachment to the peripheral hatch opening (22) in a hatchback style vehicle (24) for converting a unitary hatchback having a fixed window embedded therein to a retractable rear window style hatchback includes a transparent window (62) fabricated from either flexible or rigid material and supported over a forward portion of the hatch opening (22). The window (62) folds downwardly, either rearwardly or forwardly, onto a shelf (72) or is collapsed in accordion style to uncover the forward portion of the hatch opening (22). A trunk lid (48) covers a rearward portion of the hatch opening (22) and pivots between closed and open positions to permit storage space (34) access through the hatch opening (22). The hatchback conversion apparatus (20) is a retrofit device which does not structurally alter or damage the hatch opening (22) and therefore permits reinstallation of the stock unitary hatchback on the vehicle (24).
