ooo wells I guess I'll have to get use to it too =)

 

Ya, but if you fold it down, doesn't that defeat the purpose of buying it in the first place? i mean i bought it to reduce the wind, and now folding it down at night with the top down seems kind of weird.

 

Re the sizes: There are three sizes. One is same as stock and I see no purpose in getting it unless you just have to have one with the logo etched in it.
The next is the 7/8 one (7/8s of the full size) and it comes up almost to the top of the roll bars. Last is the full size and it goes al the way to the top.

I got the 7/8 because it seemed to be asking for damage to the top in case I forgot to keep it in the full upright position before raising or lowering top.
The instructions warn that even the 7/'8 one might cause damage to the top or the rear window if left in down position when top is lowered or raised.

Yes, it really does reduce both noise and turbulence in the cabin. I'm just delighted with that. Of course, the taller you sit in the seat, the more the wind will hit you in the back of the head w/o an aero screen. My wife is only 5'-2" and the wind does not bother her much even w/o the screen.

 

Re the vibration matter (assuming that you do not mean rattling of the plastic screen in its mount):

The kit comes with two sets (total of four) of clear plastic half-round bumpers. One each is supposed to be glued to the vertical sides of the roll bars to prevent the screen from being pushed too far forward by wind pressure.

The instructions say to remove the sticky "self-stick" glue from the back of the bumpers and then apply them to the roll bars using a specified brand of glue.

I did not have such glue handy and could not find any at my local hardware store, so I just used regular super glue.

It did not work well so I removed the two bumpers I'd already used and trashed them. I then used the remaining two that came in the kit and just put them on using the self-stick glue that was already on them. To ensure no problem, I then drilled one small hole in the center of each of the bumpers and into the plastic covering of the roll bars. I then used two tiny chrome-plated screws to fix the bumpers in place. Looks good and works well.

The vibration condition does not happen at all, because I made sure that I mounted the bumpers far enough back so that the screen pushes well up against them even when the car is at rest.

I did a good job of mounting the plastic in the existing screen frame, so there is no vibration there, either.

 

Has anybody tried using the bumpers to have the 'upright' position not be quite all the way up (leaning back a little), to minimize the reflection problem? Or is that defeat the wind block too much?

Actually, I noticed the night reflections more if I push the windscreen back a bit. The reflections go away if you pull the windscreen forward. Unfortunately, this is actively pulling the windscreen past the normal upright position (like wind pushing it forward if you didn't install the bumpers). Just my 2 cents...
