I cut down my windscreen.
Yesterday I had Karl's glass in Lemon Grove cut my stock Birkin windscreen down to 8" tall w/ rounded top corner edges & beveled it as well. They charged $40. I cut the thin posts 1/4 inch above the top of the side-support brackets.
I'm 5'10" & the top edge of the glass is 2" above my line of sight. I'm running w/ no top frame on the glass.
At around 60 mph the wind is much reduced over the brooklands screen I was using previously.
Astheticly, the car is MUCH improved. That dorky (no offense!) full-framed Jeep-window look is gone. The top edge is almost invisible & the car finally looks RIGHT. Of course none of my foul-weather stuff is going to work w/ this setup. Check out some of Dick Brink's inventory to see samples of the cut windscreen on cars. BTW, His cuts are more radical than mine, His are 6 inches --They look even cooler but might be less effective. Rock on my brothers!
