Keith,

I've always found it interesting that the two companies achieved the same end (well, sort of!) using very different methods.

I suspect the GMH Chev seal was the more durable (just like their hatch design - as you pointed out before, the Ford hatch was prone to rusting out from the inside of the two-piece 'sandwich'.)

I also liked the Chev single-piece grab handle, rather than the Ford top-hat section fitted with two standard 'hardware' handles. In all, the Aust Chev hatch, hatch aperture and locking system seemed to be a much better design than the Aust Ford. What do you think?

Mike
