Is it worth it? Its way cheaper then OEM.

I have had a raceland wind screen in my miata for 3+ years. I kicked myself for not buying one sooner. Good quality, great price, and makes a huge difference.

[Thizzelle]

I've bought 2. They work great, get it.

How does it install exactly? I have seen the metal braces go behind the rear panels but what do they attach to?

[DRTSRFR]

Got one, and am buying another. they're great for the price.

There are two "fingers" that go in the seatbelt slots and two tabs under the tonneau.

[reelizmpro]

Do the fingers attach to anything or are they just hinged onto something? Can it quickly be removed/installed is what I'm asking lol.

I had this on my previous convertible. Its good for the price and works the way it should. You can use your cell phone with the top down, windows up, windscreen up while driving on a highway.

Rear: The flat metal in the rear corners goes underneath the tourneau cover. Be careful not to mess up your door panels. The flat metal part of the windshield can be filed/bent if its to long to hit the corner of the door panels, or pull the windshield from the front to give enough room for the rear flat metal.

Front: The front of the windscreen should have a metal piece that will slide in the seatbelt area. Be careful not to mess up your door panels from installing and removing.

IMO, with slight adjustments, for some it may not be needed, this can fit nicely at low cost.

[DRTSRFR]

Yeah, you slide the fingers into the slots with the tonneau opened, then it locks down in the rear when you close the rear.

in or out in less than a minute.

[Thizzelle]

yeah it takes a minute to install and uninstall, fits in trunk too. Can also leave in car with top up, I use mine like a privacy screen

[reelizmpro]

For those with electric motors disconnected, the tonneau cover doesn't secure and only stays down under it's own weight. Would this be a problem?

[DRTSRFR]

You mean without the foreward latches engaged??
Who does that? Mine would rattle like a you know what If it didn't have latches.

I'm electro/manual by the way...

[reelizmpro]

I didn't look into it but I think my motor doesn't work so I have nothing to hold the tonneau cover down at the moment. Frankly, it hasn't been an issue for me. So the rear of the windscreen simply gets sandwiched by the cover?

[DRTSRFR]

Yes. It has a couple of flat tabs which are sandwiched by the cover.

Please see my question re: front brackets in the other Raceland thread.
