i was thinking of making a rear louvre for the window, why?, coz i think they look nice......and then what decided it for me was i snapped the rear screen like a plank. if the louvre doesnt work out i'll scratch a screen from some clear poly i have.

Rear louver is a good idea. Looks like a good start on it.
