Wondering if anyone has put a windscreen in a TR8, and if there is one pre-made for another car that will fit nicely, and look professional. Preferably something in Black.


Thanks!

I really like those, would be great tinted real dark. I will be ordering one soon,
 
OH! The windblocker! I was in the Brit mode when you said "windscreen", and wondered how you were going to see out of a black one! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif
 
Speaking of "windblockers".....

If you've got a roll bar you're half way there. Kind of a lousy picture but here's what I did with mine. It's just a piece of 1/8" plexiglass with 1/8" aluminum flat bar at the bottom to stiffen it and zip ties around the roll bar to hold it in place. Next time I'd just use 1/4" plexiglass and forego the flat bar stiffening. I would also find some split tubing to provide a finished edge for the plexiglass.

Once you've used one you'll never do without it. At 70 MPH with the windows rolled up you can talk without yelling and in cold weather the heater is actually quite effective.

I do not have a roll bar, what I picture in my head is more like what is on a Miata, or Boxster.
