Newby question

Hope this is not the wrong place for this . . .
I'm new to the forum and new to Rover 75's - doing a lot of reading trying to increase my knowledge base.
Question please: Is a "ski-hatch" the flip-up rear window on a tourer that saves you having to open the tail-gate?

No. Ski Hatch is an openable gap between the rear two seats so that your skis have a longer space. Where the central arm rest is.

It is also an easy way of putting unruly children in the boot without getting out of the car on a rainy day.

And welcome to the worlds bestest car forum

I had to use it to get into the car when my key went missing. Can no longer remember why the boot was open and car locked. Had to send bits away to get new key made, first key then turned up in teenage child's bedroom.....

Thank you Kwil - much better idea than having them hanging out of the back window

Wanted to do a "Thanks" but can't figure how to do it !!

Need a minimum of 10 (I think!) posts before the thanks button becomes available.
