moonroof wind screen

anyone know if it would be possible to modify the front glass piece to make it raise up like it did in the tC1 for the wind screen?

so far the only thing i thought of is.. i wrapped that piece in black duck tape spo no air passes through the net..which means a slightly quieter ride

are you talking about the net? would that create drag?

Yea the net. As far as drag I don't know. All I know is it's quieter.

Despite it's looks, the tC2 is not really very aerodynamic. Not to mention you're adding drag just by having the moon roof open. Any changes to that little wind screen won't have a major effect in drag

it is quieter. not by much though. theres is still alot of air flow coming under the screen. still making it kinda noisy..not sure if its worth making a fiberglass peice. up to you
