On the other hand experimenting with the position of the side windows when it getâ€™s uncomfortable usually will be more than enough to remain comfortable.

When driving with the roof down on cold days, I actually find it more comfortable with the windows completely lowered.

I find it more comfortable with windows up and heater on as required. Since I often don't put on hood cover (old vinyl is a little on stiff side) I found that with windows down the turbulance at over 35mph will suck out the hood. If I put the windows up you can drive at highway speeds without that happening.

Depends on the wind's force and direction. If there is a strong side wind I usually turn up the passenger wind screen.
If it is very cold (as in freezing) it can sometimes be rather comfy to put both windows up with the heater on and directed into the footwell.

I agree, kudos on the Pic Beansâ€¦Iâ€™m not saying that just because my TR7 is the same Verdugo Brown either! Itâ€™s a great pic.

As far as wind being in my hair experienceâ€¦I wished I had hair to worry about too but just the same, women hate their hair blowing in their face (or is they hate hair in their face when theyâ€™re blowing? Either way.). DUI laws being what they are and having a Gin & Tonic handy to keep her mind off her hair in her face, not practical â€¦Iâ€™ll opt for the wind blocker.

Tim, I visited the site and it looks like a great productâ€¦I have other things buy first but Iâ€™ll be dropping change for this soon I hope. Keep one on back-order for me.

That's why they invented scarves [:p]

On the other hand, even women can have their hair cut short(ish) [:)]

Tell my wife that, and you will get short thrift, she hates wearing a scarf or hat, and does not like her hair short. As she is generally with me in the DHC it has to be a wind blocker or hood up!

My view is: a windblocker in a mans car? Never... I get by with a baseball cap, so can she...

Not a problem with my FHC[:D]
Particularly as the wife rarely rides in the car
due to the exhaust noise![:(]

Cheers,
