Hi John:
=20
Sounds like a good design with available materials. I will have to come =
up with fasteners screwed to the underside of my wind blocker bought =
from LBCARCO. Maybe lift-the-dot fastener and studs will do. =
Meanwhile, a 1 inch pvc pipe is doing the job. I enjoy mine so much may =
never put up the top in SW Florida as the car is in the garage during =
the rainy season.

Hi all
A while back there was a thread abour wind blockers, and I asked about =
where I could find a picture. I never found anything on the LBCars =
site, (likely user error)
Anyway, I decided to try to build one for my BJ8, and I think it came =
out fairly well. I used the drain hole brackets down in the body just =
behind the doors as sockets to put the 5/16 steel rods into. I bent the =
rod to get the right angles to hold the bottom frame down against the =
tonneau support frame and added a couple straps with snaps that could =
snap to the snaps already on the tonneau to make sure it doesnt come =
loose. The bottom frame is made of 2 pieces of 3/4 =C3=97 1 oak with a =
piece of oak cove moulding attached to the bottom of the front one to =
fit over the tonneau frame rail. The "glass" is a piece of 1/8" lexan =
9" x 38" sandwiched between the 2 oak pieces. I made mine 38 inches =
wide so it can be stowed on or under the parcel shelf whan not in use.
