I'm 6'2", and uh... catching up with Tom Walter :) ..
I've had good luck with a mall store hat shop where you'll find real,
old-fashioned non-adjustable baseball caps in sizes(!). I'm probably a
7 3/4, but the 7 5/8 sticks to my head better -- have to keep my
haircut short(er) though. I did lose one (wool) cap in a gust of wind as
a semi blew by (probably lost it from turbulence from my middle
finger), but #2 cap (cotton - less stretch) is holding on great.
I get some (high-windshield) turbulence above 70mph, but since I quit
wearing ponytail length hair, I haven't found it to be an annoyance
(well, except maybe when I'm combing the part off the back of my head).
Rainshowers OTOH, suck mightily above 65mph. At 75 mph, and the inside
of the windshield is wetter than the outside! I can see where a rear-
windscreen would help, but I think you have to get gold chains with
'em (I'd rather have an MR2 T-top than making a faux convertible!).
Sun visor's are off - all they do is block my visibility.
240z seats/headrests, OHC, hood latches and holds, altho ragtop latches
don't....
