Windblocker

Gentlemen and nerds,
A suggestion for the design of a windblocker.
Key to the success is an extension of the rearshelf.
This new shelf is wedged between the rollbar and the body, supported by jubileeclips on the rollbar stays .
The meshe ( I chose a Mercedes pattern ) is fixed to the front edge of shelf by
a tight fitting U-channel profile.
The fixation to the rollbar is by a neodymium tape. No drilling screwing or tooling necessary .
I am very happy with the result , and so is my stiff neck.

Or if you don't have a convenient roll over bar to attach it to:

Personally I don't have neck problems-I have hearing problems from driving these old sh** boxes for 8-10 hours at a time! With the side windows up the acrylic causes no more drag than a hard top would-and you can wear a wide brimmed hat in 40 deg heat as I am doing in this picture:
