Thanks, spring is coming, might hit 60 this week! But I won't run until the sand on the roads is swept. Our sticky tires throw a lot of sand this time of year.

Do the rear seats need to be folded down when installed or can you leave it up so that you could put a bag or two when windscreen is up.

I believe the rear seats on the USA cabs are fixed in place. Mine are bolted to the rear seat belt riser.

Rick, there is quite a bit of wind that hits you from behind, not a big deal if it's not cold air. You also need a tight fitting cap if you wear a lid. I bought my cab in sept so I noticed it.

If your wife/SO has hair longer than most men's she will tell you most definitely YES. The blowing air will tangle her hair something terrible. For me, and I do have hair but it's kept short, it's not a problem. I don't mind the wind blowing in the back of my head but I used to ride a motorcycle in 40 deg. weather on a regular basis.

My experience is with a BMW 3 series convert. The windscreen is my wifes favorite "mod." With side windows and screen up, wind becomes a non-issue.80mph on the freeway is no big deal for her hair, conversation, the radio etc.

I want the P-car windscreen because I find that my bluetooth worn in my right ear is totally worthless with the top down (all the time). In CA we have to be handsfree by July 1st. Plus I really enjoy driving at night with the top down, windows up and heat cranked (wish I had heated seats) the windstop just makes that a lot easier.

Just installed the non-zip in version. No real magic to the choice other than just having replaced both roof trannys and backwelding the mounts, I figured no extra weight on that frail system is a good idea. Very easy to take out and hangs nicely by the support bar on a nail in the garage...

Feel a little ashamed of the whole concept, but will make evening driving with the long-haired wife much more comfortable.

I have the zip-in wind screen for my cab. The only thing is when I put the boot on, too, I have the side flaps of the boot that don't fit anywhere because of the zip-in wind screen. What am I doing wrong?
Without the wind screen installed the side flaps of the boot tuck in behind the back seat. But once it is zipped in you can't do that anymore. I'd appreciate any help you may have.
Thanks

The side flaps should still fit along the sides but the back flap will fold under the boot with the windscreen zipped in.

Thanks for the tip. Folding the back flap under! That did the trick. Such an easy solution. Don't know why I didn't come up with that myself.
