As an alternative, you could close the opening in the rear deck lid with a piece of tempered glass. I’ve seen this done by a couple of people over at the POCA e-mail forum. Later Lotus Esprit Turbo’s had a plexi spoiler attached to the top of the deck lid that would also keep rain away from the engine compartment. Mind you, not driving in the rain works best!
