Rear Hatch Spacers?
I saw a spacer - clip looking "do dad" that said it made driving the C5 with the roof off better because it reduced the wind turbulence. It held the rear hatch open an inch or so.
I have yet to go for a drive in my new C5 without the top. Is there a problem with turbulence in the cockpit on a cruse without the top?

Yes, there is a difference in turbulence with the hatch vents or "spacers" , when I use my hatch vents, there is little wind turbulence in the cabin, it works and got it for under $40!

Wind does come in and buffet around with the top off. But to me its not that bad. If you try driving with the top off and don't like the wind turbulance, you can buy the hatch vents from the forum vendors like Mid-America and Ecklers. Mid-America's part number is 600-304.
