Convertible softtop curtain

Is the inside curtain necessary that's connected to the softtop?

I would think it helps protect the glass when in the folded position, but I've never owned a convertible Corvette.

It's not strictly necessary if you're very careful and precise raising and lowering the top. I left it out when I replaced my top, to avoid flapping when driving with just the windows down.

If you drive at moderate to high speeds with the top up and windows down, you'll soon be the author of "why did my back window fall out"?

It's a sports car, not a luxury car. It's supposed to be annoying and noisy.
