     Or you could get a TR 1800 Roadster...the window design isn't much 
     better than your TR-3, but at speeds within the capability of the 
     Roadster, the velocity isn't as great.....
     
     Cheers!

John;
I believe they do help.  They do not eliminate the blast completely.  For 
long road trips I put the sidecurtains in with the top down. The first time I 
did it to save space in the boot but now I do it for comfort as well.  The 
other alternative is to look for one of the 22 Francorchamps made, an Italia 
or perhaps the Conrero TRS !
