| Post subject: | Driving with windscreen down |
Does anyone know whether it is legal to drive with the windscreen folded down? Also, is there a max speed with the windscreen down? I don't have the "feelers" which usually support the windscreen when folded and instead am using a cut up foam pool noodle for support and rope to tie it down. The last thing i want is for the windscreen to fly up, or the vibrations to crack the glass |

Yes, it is legal. Not sure why you would want to though? http://www.auszookers.com/index.php?nam ... ic&t=29454 Steve. |

Thanks for the link Gwagensteve, i'm not sure how i missed it myself. I'm really only interested in driving with the windscreen down because i can but never have, so basically just curiosity. That said i like the idea that roof, doors and windscreen are optional extras. And motorbikes are scary

If you're concerned about it flapping (and I would be) take it off - it's only the plug for the wipers and 2X screws at the hinges and it comes off. Steve. |

For bonus points you could even lose the b-pillar too. Just swap over to the older sierra lap belts. Low back seats from that same old sierra would really complete the look too. |

Wouldn't that depends how fast the vehicles around you are going... With the number of stone chips in my windscreens I don't think i'd be game to flip one down (if I had a foldable screen) on the open road! |
