Yea I can definitely relate to that feeling, I miss top down, smooth back roads on a nice clear warm night, it doesnt get much better than that.

Damn you! Its too cold here for that but soon I will partake.

My girlfriend loves it, It's even better when you have a windscreen, basically no messed up hair;)

This is the only story told by a r3v member that doesn't deserve a "cool story bro".

100% agree with this. it's like being high but not.

was looking at getting a windscreen for mine...only ones I can find are made by "Raceland"....seem to cheap to really be effective.

what kind do you have?

I think it's only raceland or oem but i could be wrong. I've actually heard good things about the raceland one.

my girlie girl bitches about her hair too. the good news is that she is willing to throw on a baseball cap. one of our favorite past times is driving through nice neighborhoods and checking out all the houses with the top down. unobstructed view.

my biggest complaint about the car is the crazy wind noise blowing off the "a" pillar at highway speed. i have to wear an ear plug in my left ear. i know there is a wind deflector that goes over the back seat but i think it looks like crap and they are impossible to find. i wonder if anyone made one of those smoked side window deflectors for the cabrio that old people have on their suburbans?

i put my rear seat back on a hinge, and also fitted a thin peice of plexi on the back, this works so well, that i can put a peice of notebook paper (or small reciept from a gas station) on my dashboard, and it will stay put, up to 40mph..and it stays quite comfortable at all speeds...keeping the heated air closer, and the girls hair in place...

and it doesn't need to be higher then the headrests...imo the oem windscreen looks like a huge fly-swatter.

mine is sleek, and can be stored in the trunk against the rear lights, and barely noticable...also can be left in place with the top up too.

^ So much WIN.

Mines a raceland. I love it.

how does that rear seat treat your body in a car accident compared to a flimsy wind screen?

also, top down+warm summer air+hot as shit gf=win

only things I need now are to fix my heated seats and get a wind screen

[MC Hammered]

I wish I knew of this mod when I had my vert! So ingenious!

And I do miss my vert now that the sun is out... regretted selling her 48 hours after the fact.

[lylefk]

I haven't driven my vert in months, especially with the top off...can't wait for the weather to really get nice here, will steal the car back and take it for a nice windy drive to Bend...nothing better than driving it on a warm night with the top off, 100% agreed there.

the seat is all foam...(well, foam and leather)..and is actually held in place by hanging on a plastic slim hook that would shatter attatched to the plexi-glass..which has foam ends on it to wrap up to the windows.and the plexi-glass is half inch thick...(bulletproof up to a .40) ..so, really its safer....

when it folds down, no-one knows the difference, and no structual changes were made

thanks
life didn't give me a full glass, so i got a smaller cup..and the whole thing cost less then 20 bucks (recylced plexi-free)

thanks for the props, its not a perfect car, but it is fun


if you want to make your own, i have learned that 85% or more wind is blocked by the downforce on the seats .and just a small fraction of the screen keeps the wind from coming back in the cabin...i was thinking of a fiberglass shell, but that would take up so much room and wouldn't fit in the trunk

Cool mod, but looks tedious no?
