Rear windscreen
Curious if you leave your windscreen permanently on or just when you have your top down?.........ya I must be bored.
Is there any reason I shouldn't leave on?

I bring mine along, usually in the bag up front- but if I've got the dogs, I leave it in the garage.
Since my top is down more than 90% of the time I'll put it on if the temps get down into the 50's or lower - and even put the windows up with the screen up if we're doing long freeway hauls (SF to LA or Palm Springs for example) and drop everything when we get into town. I find it's great when going to the races for the weekend to kind of hold all the luggage, loose clothing / blankets and extras down in the back, and less "inviting" to people when we make quick pit stops for fuel or breaks along the way.
I think it's very effective in cold weather, and just convenient when you want to knock some or the noise or wind down when making highway journeys where you're sustaining speeds above 70 for an hour or more.
If it's just me in the car, it's typically down and the windows are too.

Only install it when I want it up... Otherwise I don't like the look of it. Plus when installed but folded down, it tends to "sag" a little at the center seam... Not sure whether that exerts pressure on the thing, so figure I keep it in the frunk when not in use... Mine didn't come with the car, so I had to source one later and it didn't come with the bag... I'd like a bag, but what people are asking (hundreds of dollars) for the bag alone, is just stupid...

I never bought one, I decided to spend my $$$ on exhaust mods and carbon fiber interior bits.

I kept mine installed in my 997 almost all the time. I flipped it up when I needed it, and I flipped it back down when I put the top up.

I have mine mounted on weekdays when driving alone to work. I would normally leave it but I have 20 km of motorway and to keep up with traffic I have to go 120 km/h (65 mph) and then the wind from the back is disturbing.
I also find it good for keeping the wind out so I can put my jacket and loose stuff in the back.
On weekends when transporting the kids I just put it in the frunk

Shouldn't sag in the middle, there's a little nipple that you gotta line up just right, but once you're used to it, it's a natural bit to place by hand when installing.
