Time to unzip that rear spit window and experience some of these
suggestions. Guess I'm not spending enough time in my spit. I either enjoy
the top down or drive top up because of weather. Since the spit is a
"rolling restoration" while I invest most of my energy/money into the TR6
rebuild, I dont drive the spit above 50. Needs some attention.... Hence, no
need to "relieve turbulence" from wind in the side windows. At 50... it's a
"Sunday morning leisurely drive". Got to address that rear ujoint so I can
cruise!!
Thanks for all the feedback. I'll definitely opt for the zippered top on the
6.

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.

P.S. Just my opinion
