I looked into buying/building one a couple years ago; a friend and I
until recently took a long--up to 5K miles--Healey trip every spring
and the wind battering definitely adds to fatigue. When I discussed
it with my friend/navigator he said not to do it; getting beaten-up
by the wind was part of the 'experience.'<br>
<br>
The hood only comes up in hard rain, and that's mostly to keep the
floorpans (relatively) dry.<br>

<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. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<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>

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. <u></u><u></u></span></p>
