I don't have any answers but I do have an interest in this topic and
have been looking around for potential solutions. I see that Moss has a
custom made screen that bolts to the soft top frame mounts:

and I have heard of people filling in the area formed by the roll bar
with plexiglass.

Some modern sports cars have a very cool design where there is a roll
"hoop" behind each seat that extended up above the headrest and then
they bridge between those hoops with some kind of transparent wind
blocking material. The Audi TT roadster is a good example.
 
My question is given the design of the TR6 (the brick shape, the rake of
the windscreen etc) do any of these solutions actually make a difference
at any speed ?

Hi List:

I would like to make my own rear windscreen and am looking for advice, 
pictures and/or plans from others who have been there, done that.  Of 
particular interest to me would be the brackets that were used to hold 
the windscreen in place.  Also, has anyone made their windscreen so it 
is adjustable up and down to allow for the tonneau cover to be used?

Thanks for your help.

Aaron
