Found a site where they sell rounded persex (spelling!) glass windblockers....tinted or clear.........look great and then they charge almost two hundred plus postage.

Surely to god someone has a nifty but not 'sticky back plastic and toilet roll' option?

There is, i have bits of clear perspex lying aroung (i think)
just make up a cardboard template then cut it out of the perspex,
Few holes, bit of velcro and bobs yer uncle......lovely jubely

Hi Val

wondering if you could share the site on which you found the perspex option - I also have access to some super-perspex and might just go for the DIY option if I had a visual on the real thing - if Chinese manufacturing can copy it surely I can too! :lol:

Val, the windblocker I got is this one http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/product_info. ... cts_id/137 - I got a new one recently from http://www.ilmotorsport.de/shop/ for only EUR 122 incl postage cos they were having a sale. Check out the different prices, with the exchange rate jumping around so much it's worth checking both I think.

Once saw a woman doing 100km/h on the N11, steering with her knee while she tied up her hair with both hands... seemed rather, um, optimistic behaviour! Adding the windblocker is the best thing I ever did to my car.

My hair's pretty short these days so I can't comment on how well it tames the locks...
No more Mk1, now driving an '08 Mk3. Still fun!

lots of info

Evening gents,
thanks again for the info, seems the mx5parts windblocker is popping up (literally) over and over as a good option.

The tan velcro/overseat option is out of stock too at the moment but with the piddling rain at the moment this does not seem to be too bad.

Reesy, the windblocker I saw is http://www.micaeljansson.com/shop_5/web ... _frame.asp

hope this link works.

ta,
val
