    *THREAD FINISHED THANKS*

    Hi all,

    Stupid question - I'm picking up a spare hatch for my sprinter this arvo But it just dawned on me that I may not be able to fit it into the back of the car. I've had a bonnet in the back before...Can anyone tell me if they've squeezed a hatch in before? I'd go measure it now myself but it's bucketing rain so I thought I'd post this anyway.

    Otherwise I'll have to book the work ute

    **EDIT* I just went and measured it up - very doubtful.*

    Cheers.

    Yeah I thought of that! But I would mind keeping the old one, at least for the spare glass.

    It's ok I've arranged to borrow the ute. Just means I have to leave the sprinter outside work for a few hours tonight I hate leaving it anywhere outside the garage...

    Hey Keni thanks for your advice - I'll stand by it!

    Oh what a miserable 3hr round trip it will be in the clapped out ute in the rain tonight.....(!)
