it comes to my shoulder and has the fibreglass pole in the top mounted ito the dash and ally trim giving a slight arc away from the driver, so all
being well will stop the water from the front wheel hitting my arm .

Would you like some Carbon effect vinyl to compliment your shroud and handbrake?

A sheet?
I think (hope) you've misunderstood - I'm talking Vinyl the material, not the 3M Dynoc stuff that people stick all over the place

as mythbusters proved, if you drive at 120mph in the rain with no roof (or with the roof down) rain will just fly right over you, so just drive fast

Im talking the 3m stuff lol seemed like a good idea at the time, wish I could afford real Carbon fibre I was toying with making the sides with a solid
product , but used what I had.

I like the idea of the semi side door you have done. Seen one very similar at Stonleigh last year they used one of the plastic covered wire that are
used in net curtains etc, allows it to bend and flex as you move your arm around.

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

By using a fibreglass pole longer than the apeture in whichit fits is automatically creates a curvature taking the screen away from the elbow, should
have taken a shot from the top to show it

top view showing the arc that the tent pole creates leaving a little bit of elbow room and maintaining tension in the vinyl hopefully reducing any
flapping
