BMW Z3 owners: Does the wind screen that fits between the ro

Yes it works.Here is how.. As your car travels foward, relative wind wind moving in the opposing direction goes over the wind screen and over the roof of the car...well in this case, there's no roof.So guess what the air does.Since it can not follow the roof line because it isn't there, it curls down behind your head in a turbulent flow causing your hair to be blown all which a ways.The screen puts a barrier behind your head so the burbling, curling, turbulent wind curls down behind the windscreen now making it possible to ride with the top down with no wind messing up your hair..
