Now that you mention it, I'm sure I saw an ad for such a thing
somewhere... cost multi-hundred bucks, of course. I must admit I've
looked at those acorn nuts adorning the rear wheel arches with the
thought that they'd be handy for rigging up something of the sort. My
thinking was (on each side), a flat plate to bolt up and adjust angle and
position, and a short piece of aluminum window channel with a stop at the
bottom. Then just drop in an appropriate sized (and shaped) sheet of 3/8
plexiglass, with maybe a set screw or clamp device to keep it from
blowing away... The idea would be you'd leave the brackets in place
permanently, but could easily remove the plexiglass and store it in the
boot (probably would need a bag so as not to scratch horribly) when you
put on the tonneau, for instance.
This would work for roadsters; the folding top would make it a lot more
complicated or impossible.
OK, there's my idea, now you can proceed to pick it apart... Dan, how
about we split the patent rights?
;-)

Runs great,
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
