ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for modifying a permanently mounted rear window of a vehicle to convert a conventional vehicle into a hatch-back vehicle. The apparatus comprises a first frame securable to the original window opening of the vehicle. A second frame receives the original window of the vehicle. A hinge pivotably mounts the second frame relative to the first frame enabling the original window to be pivoted between a closed and an open position. The hinge may be a telescoping type which telescopes upon pivoting the original window into an open position. Such telescoping creates a space between the edge of a window and the body of the vehicle. Air flow coming over the top of the vehicle may then be directed through said space and into an area beneath the open window. A latch is provided for locking the second frame to the first frame in the closed position.
