Windscreen

[NeilD]

Got caught in a cloudburst on the Motorway yesterday. Although my wipers work fine I seem to get as much spray on the inside as the outside. - Any clever solutions????

Yes, put your hood on!

I have put a central rod ( about 3mm dia.) from the centre of the top down to the scuttle. It holds it all tight and gives me somewhere to mount my rear view mirror.

Have you thought of putting in a rear screen? Fill in the space from roll-bar to seatbelt bar with a perforated screen--fix temp. with cable ties--test--blank over the perf. with stiff card-- try again--try different speeds--if you can stop the wind curling back over the screen you should stop the wet as well--works for BMW soft-tops.

I had a "spoiler" made in perspex which sat on top of the screen and extended about 3" beyond the screen and slightly upwards. Works a treat.

 

I'll take a piccy and post it tomorrow.

Some interesting ideas...

 

I am finding that some spray goes inside the window even with my surrey fitted

( not that it ever rains in Scotland )

 

I guess I'll

1) try out the mesh theory

2) try side wind deflectors ( I have hinges for doors but never seem to have them with me when I need them and I cant see much with them fitted )

3) the spoiler idea has merits cause sleet, snow and hail hurt your face at the 70mph needed to try and keep dryish!

 

Looks like I'm in for a soaking testing this.....

 

How come I leave the house in perfect sunshine with a good weather forecast and some localised storm still manages to find me....... must've been bad in a previous life ( or maybe this one ! )
