Fiberglass rear hatch
I am going to replace my rear hatch with a fiberglass hatch and lexan. There are so many different options I can go with but curious what you guys have done. I am also going to installing a bulkhead with it. What company has the best product?? thanks

Now, in all honesty, I've talked to the guys at Glasstek, and from what they tell me, a full fiberglass replacement hatch wouldn't weigh alot less than the stock hatch. So, if you're looking for a full size fiberglass replacement, you would be just a well off going with a lexan rear with the stock hatch. Give me a call if you have more questions. I'd be more than happy to answer them for you. My number is 225-673-3533.
Thanks!

The thing about that is the stock hatch doesn't weigh much at all when you take the back window out. I'm not tryin to say it's not a good piece, and it won't save weight, but $584 for 5 or 10 lbs is pretty expensive. I don't know if that would be the exact weight difference either, since they don't list a weight on their website.

That's good to know. I was thinking about buying their hatch and a few other things. What's wrong with ur hatch? I thought I read in one of his posts it was made out of a factory mold.
