If you have a roll bar, it would be easy to make one with velcro straps so that

Have a look at high end Roadsters - Porsche, BMW, Mercedes - they all have a
windblock to stop the curling (eddie) effect as the air moves over the
windshield and curls back. I've seen afetrmarket items for MGB's, Triumphs,
Miatas that attach to rollbars to curb this effect.
