No way! Seriously you will get used to it, and no you cant see that much out the back even with a clear screen.

Well done on your new "plaything" BTW

or if you can save up and get a full roof from carhood warehouse as its more cost effective in the long run, the old vynal roofs get tired and wear so you may have to for out again in a year if you dont do it all.

Plus then you would have a glass rear window

Sticky back plastic? like you would use for covering paper etc, get it from most hobby shops, only a few quid for a roll, Just cleen the window best you can then lay it over the whole screen and push the bubbles to the edge, should you keep you going for ages, plus if you get a roll you can reapply until you can get a new Roof

outside so the water cant onto the sticky bit and start it pealing, nothing stopping you doing bolth sides though if its big whole and you want a little extra strength, start with the outside first tough and see if you think it needs it.
