My wife stopped riding with me because of the backwash . Exhaust fumes and messed up hair were the final complaints.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Every time I saw a newer sport convertible with a plastic shield behind the front seats, I wanted one for my Healey because after 50 MPH the wind blowing from
behind is a tremendous force which will blow your hat off and discourage your female passenger from ridding with you when the top is down. I had seen that
<a href="https://www.lbcarco.com" target="_blank">https://www.lbcarco.com</a> had Wind blockers for all LBC, but, not the big Healey. So I considered building my own and looked them up on the site to see how they were constructed, found the now have a Wind
blocker for the big Healey, and immediately ordered it for $175.00. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">In the past 2 days since installing Wind Blocker, it has become my best purchase to give comfort to my top down driving. In Florida in the winter it is the
land of top down driving and I have not put up the top for 2 years. I may never put up the top, unless I am going hundreds of miles in the hot sun.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">I used a piece of ¾ inch PVC pipe cut to the distance between the posts and a little more so the pipe wedged between the posts and laying on the top frame
holds up the Tonneau cover tightly so there is little drape. I was able to wrap and fold the Tonneau around the posts to get a good seal. May attach straps later to complete the seal.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125)">Highly recommended for those who love to drive our LBC’s with the top down. Best toy for your Healey. I have no interest in lbcarco. Also, the product is
hard to find as you have to scroll down the list of special offers to find, however, it is in the search field under Tonneau.
