I'm thinking of getting a windscreen to reduce wind turbulence with the top down. Any experience/comments on wind screens?
I purchased a windscreen from the WINDBLOX company on Amazon. $295 no shipping cost. There was not yet a model on their web site for the XLR, although they do make it. It is a proprietary plexiglass, not tinted. Very easy to install/remove. Very heavy Velcro straps that insert through cutouts - 2 each side - and go around the roll bars. Just returned from a 5 day trip to the Smokey MT. Park, driving the Tail of the Dragon. Great fun, lots of use of manual drive throughout the park and into North Carolina. Wife loved driving it too in manual. Some reflection on the Wind Blocker, but not distracting. Tested wind screen at speed on interstate. Good below 50 MPH, need windows up over that speed. We are leaving it installed and no problems with top up or down. So far satisfied with it. Experience with the company very positive.
Thanks for your initial responses, helped me when looking at various options.
