durkin: Oncoming headlights at night are not a problem. I have grade 30 tint on the rear window, but I don't think it has any affect on the restriction of a possible glare problem. However, during the daytime, the restrictor does reflect objects in front of me in the lower part of the rear view...

Mesh vs Plexiglass Wind Restrictor I have tried both the factory mesh and the plexiglass wind restrictors. Can't detect much difference in the amount of wind blockage. However, I personallly like the looks of the plexiglass unit. So, I have the factory mesh one for sale. It cost about $650...

PROBLEM POSTING PICTURES JCP I wanted to post some pictures, but can't figure out how to do it. I either do not understand the brief instructions I got from the site manager or my computer/format is no right. I have some pretty good pictures of both the exterior and the upholstery...
