Default Miniscule Vert annoyance

I've had this 98 vert for A week, we've got rainy weather , so the top has finally had to come up. When it's up there is A thin black cloth that apparently shields the deck part of the body just above the waterfall, it seems to just flap and wave like A flag in the breeze whenever I have the window down. What do you guys do with or about this situation? Any solutions will be greatly appreciated. Happy vettin all. Whoops, advance just called, and my multi switch for the headlights and turn signals is in, so I better run, By now.

It's not there to protect the deck, I think it's there to protect the glass with the top down. Why do anything? If it annoys you, CLOSE THE WINDOWS.

I usually need the windows down, since I have the bad habit of smoking cigars, when I drive, actually I have to endure this bad habit pretty much all the time, except when I'm asleep. Was wondering if there is an adjustment for the flap to maybe tension it, or get it more taught, to alleviate the flapping. Thanks for the reply.

It's an "Antiglare Cover." I took out two screws, roled it up and put a clip on each end to keep it roled up. White car and it does cause glare in the back glass in the daytime.

Hey dougbfresh, it's just an old mans bad habit carried over from the Benz days.
