Use got2b glued. They claim it's windtunnel tested. I personally use it and my hair still stays pretty spiky even while driving 70-75mph on the highway.
Or just shave your head

Top up majority of the time for a majority of reasons.

GF doesn't like the cold.

I work around the harbor area, lots of bigrig trucks around, i've been nicked in the head with tiny rocks quite a few times.

On the freeway, i've had something large strike my windshield putting a pit into it, imagine if it went just a bit higher into the cabin...

The only time I have the top down is when its either below 50 degrees, raining out, if im on the highway for more then 2 hours, or if im only going less then 2 miles or doing short errands around town. ( I live in the city so i dont like leaving the top down when its parked)

My plastic rear window has a tear in it. Will putting the top down tear it more?
