just saw this with pellis today on Avi's car, and it looks really good in person, and its a simple yet effective solution to the rick screen vibrations that some have reported.

I, on the other hand, finally put on Mingster's new screen, and for those who do not have a stock aeroscreen, I highly recommend it. It is simple in design, lightweight, and has no vibration problems. My only suggestion to Mingster is that the mounting base should be bevelled more to look more elegant.

Humanatek,
Avi just got two small squares of foam rubber from a shoe repair shop in Mill Valley, slit them, and slid them down both sides, wedging them. I thought they were part of the desgn when I first saw them. The things you learn on a group outing...

I think Avi's solution was made of a shoe sole rubber, so it actually stays clipped to the screen when you open and close. i suppose you may have to keep an eye on it though.

With this setup, how do you fold down the aeroscreen?

I think you slip them up and fold the screen down. When you again raise the screen, you re-install the rubber bumpers. Sometimes simpler is better. Good idea Avi.
