    Ideas with drawings can be found in Tech tips.

    There are two approaches, wind deflectors hinged from the screen frame, or a complete side screen sometimes a modified wet weather screen using the door for additional support.

    If it all gets too much, goggles and a flying helmet!

          Hi John. See picture, the screens on my roadster are fixed to the doors and separate from the wind deflectors. More pix/details available if you want...screens are currently off the car so could take pix if you wish
