Hi Bill,
Welcome to the wonderful world of side-screen cars ... yup
they are noisy, yup the side screens "suck out" ... especially when
it is raining, and nope ... never had any screws pull out ... well
not ones that were not already loose ... <G>
We will be coming through Tehacapi (siq) on our way to
Triumphest, maybe you can join our caravan ...
Take Care ...
