Badwolf Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 If it's what I think it is, it's to stop the wind coming forward in the slip stream of the car. You know, the old fantasy of a girl's hair streaming backwards in the wind in an open top. Well it doesn't, the hair comes forward and the girl gets it wrapped around her head (ask Lady BW). This is supposed to stop that problem...I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Typical... collection only... They fit across the car from b-post to b-post thereby stopping the wind from whipping in round the door glass and freezing the back of your neck. We have a number of them over here, some very nice home-made versions, but that one looks to have the half-tonneau cover that goes over the back seat too. I saw one of those very recently - sadly no photos - but it's the sort to go for. Aha - found a pic of one!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 BW, once again you are spot on! I don't need one for my 13/60, I don't have the problem of hair getting blown about . .Not saying why 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishmosh Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 mines a mesh one from an Audi A3. Easy fit and folds into a bag in the boot. Has a mesh cover over the back seat too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badwolf Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Colin - It does say that postage can be arranged, but out to you!!!! Might just be worth a message to ask oh, just seen mainland UK, but still might be worth a shout especially if it doesn't sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 I've been debating making one - after all, all those perspex screens from shops etc. will be going to waste in a while - but this would save a lot of bother plus has the rear covers too.

Am currently exploring options, BW - for carriers I need to know size and weight. I've messaged the seller and am waiting to see if they'll play.

I've messaged the seller and am waiting to see if they'll play. Although it was my suggestion, I have never been to keen on arranging a collection, due to the inconvenience it causes to the seller. It's bad enough having to wait for the carriers that still don't give a time/day for delivery, but when it's somebody else who has arranged it I personally wouldn't be too chuffed, especially if they didn't turn up.

Chris A Posted January 8, 2022 Report Share Posted January 8, 2022 Colin, watch out BW has suddenly gone from offering helpful advice to pointing out the problems. I bet he's after it! I wonder if he'll post to France? . . . .😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not for me Colin..get on with it. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
