Winnie,

When I drive on the highway I have found it is more pleasant to drive with 
the hood (top) up and the rear window unzipped.  It is cooler without the 
sun beating down and at highway speeds (65 - 75 MPH) it is less 
blustery.  At speeds of 55 or below the top down experience is fun but 
at the speeds required to keep from getting run over on the freeway 
(and the TR6 w/OD will exceed any legal speed in the US, sustained) 
the turbulence is quite fatiguing.  If it were my car I would get the 
zippered rear window.

Dave (just drove mine 4,000 miles to the VTR so I should know) Massey

P.S. Just my opinion
