The blocker I bought is attached to the tonneau bar fixtures behind the =
driver in which the tonneau bar fits into. It is the most logical and =
existing fixture to use.  Just behind the seats. Why try to reinvent the =
wheel? Far closer to the driver than the driver side of your roll bar.

Just drove 75 miles at 45-65 mph with a baseball cap on and not the =
slightest movement from the wind to send it sailing.  However,  when I =
went over the Peace River Bridge there was a 15 knot crosswind and it =
have blown my heat off so I took it off.  Again, the blocker I bought is =
perfect for the task of blocking the wind.  Love it.
