[Fot] Window nets?

[Tony Drews]

Another mounting tip: if at all possible, the net should connect to 
the roll bar, not the car body.

In my rollover, the window net, which was attached to the drivers 
door and the roof of the car, was totally ineffective.  Only my death 
grip on the steering wheel prevented bad things from occurring.  When 
the car stopped, the door was opened against the front fender, and 
the roof was flapping in the wind.  Not a bad idea to do arm 
restraints in addition to the window net.
