I've been thinking of a possible solution. I've seen these decorative lenses stuck on sliding glass doors. They are thin round flexible fresnel lenses about 3" in diameter. They are made of that clear plastic that "sticks" to glass without adhesive. The lens acts as a reverse magnifying glass (makes things appear smaller). I guess their purpose is so people don't walk into glass doors. My idea was to cut one of these in half and stick it to the very top of the windshield, inside, with the flat edge adjacent to the edge of the windshield. I've seen them in houses, but I don't know where to buy them or even what they're called. Any ideas?

this reminds me of the thread on HA.net called "are you an over-lighter or an under-lighter?"- i think that this thread was lost. at the time i did not have a car so could not respond. now i can- i am an under-lighter!

Yes, at 6 feet I have the same problem. Sat in a Miata once and couldn't have seen the top of a car in front of me though. It really has a problem. If I could add one thing to the S2K it would be adjustable seats, up and down.

I'm 6'4" and this is my only real complaint about the car. I have a very small "window" of seat adjustment where I can be comfortable and still see out the window. It's usually easier to look over the top, but occasionally I'll scrunch down to see the stoplight.
I just had my 1 yr anniversary with the car yesterday, and Sunday was only the 7th time I've had the top up (only when it's raining and I can't go faster than 30mph).

6'0" and same problem. I am an "over" because I drive with the top down most of the time. However, with winter comming I guess I'll have to become an "under" for a few months.Probably will be driving 87 Volvo 760 in the winter anyway.
