Hatch Vent
I bought a hatch vent for my 96 and what a difference it makes. 
It really cuts down the wind turbulence in the cockpit of the car and is quick to put on and remove.

Yup, the targa's fine back there! All this does is bolt to the glass mounting point and keep it "popped" about 3 inches.
As for the stresses on the hatch class, that's something I wonder about. I did my first extended highway driving with it this past weekend, and looking at the front lower corners of the glass, they're definitely moving around with the wind buffeting. Made me sort of uneasy that it was wavering that much. But it's bolted down at the back, and I figure enough people use them and praise them that nothing serious is going to happen ...

I got this one from Eckler's. Same results and better security. May be the best $30 I ever spent on the '88.
