If you go to the website via the link given by Megatexture

Find the post by Malcolm Robins then use his method including downloading the computer laser cutting files for the 2mm it should work a treat. Pictures are also on his post.
Good luck

Stonestompers are around $550 bucks from memory. I enquired about them a couple of years ago. A friend has one on his expanda and raves about it. I think it copped some damage on the Gibb River Rd but it was repaired for free when he got back to Adelaide.

I found a polycarbonate rear window protector.
After a search, I found www.plasweld.com.au. They make custom a cut set for the GU (and others) that attach with suction cups. Seems to hold ok so if you haul a trailer, it may be worth the $190 for peace of mind.
I have no interest in this outfit, other than as a customer.

Yep, just ordered one, $190 plus $33 freight to Canberra. They are doing a "run" of new ones next week, so should be here in a couple of weeks.

The other "redneck" solution I have seen is Corflute cut to shape and duct taped in place. A bit cheap and nasty but would do the job I guess.

If you're packed to the hilt and cant see out the back anyway, I cant see any problem using core flute.
I'll get a price from my laser cutter as $190 plus sound very $$$ to me, leave it with me
Does the rear wiper just sit on perspex?

There is also a mob that do a full bolt on mudflap arrangement for $300 plus

TD, not too worried about their price, seems reasonable given R&D etc,. Obies wanted $295 for their similar solution a couple of years ago.

I'm never packed to high when towing the camper, I like to see out the back window to get an idea of what the camper is doing. I assume the wiper sits on the outside of the perspex, just don't use it unless you want scratches.

Edit: This pic from their site shows wiper on outside of perspex
