Top off
When traveling at highway speed with the top off, do you get excessive wind noise and buffering in the car? Am I sitting too high up in the seat or it that just the way it is with the top off. :crazy:

It's a little attachment that allows you to pop your hatch about 2 inches. This allows air to flow thru your car, instead of bouncing around in the rear hatch. :cheers:
I know ShawnZR-1 has one, I'll see if I can't get a picture for ya.

Re: Top off (vader86)
i agree, i haven't bought one yet, but i tested it out by using some wire to leave the hatch open about an inch or so and there was a definite improvement. this would be very cheap alternative but at higher speeds the airflow on the outside pushes down on the hatch and minimizes the gap.
