1. I live in FL = heat and sun
2. What is the best product for taking care of the top?
3. I found the MOPAR windscreen for $152. What is the best windscreen? How well does it really work?

thanks,

 

Probably the most popular cloth top care products are the cleaner and protectant from Ragg Topp. But for less money you can get basically the same thing using Meguiar's Canvas Cleaner and Canvas Protectant from their Marine Line.

Ragg Topp products can be found at http://www.superiorcarcare.net/raggt...FRsTawod7wtS9w

Meguiar's Marine Line (and all other Meguiar's products) can be found at http://www.autodetailingsolutions.com/Meguiar's%20Marine%20Care.htm

 

Thanks for the info. with all the products out there, you can spend a lot of time and $ looking for something that works.

 

I agree with top product and I suggest you do a search for windscreens and check out King Penn. I think there web site is www.kingpennindustries.com I have one of theirs on each SRT Roadster and they work great. You can actually hear out of your right ear after being in the expressway, plus they light up at night if you want them too.

 

I use Ragg Topp as well and would recommend it.

 

I have a KingPenn wind screen on my Limited Roadster. It makes a huge difference, but still lets air blow down the back of your neck. Probably not enough to make a difference to you in Florida, but for chilly fall cruising in northern New England, I might not pick that one again. Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice product, installs in about 15 minutes (non-illuminated), and looks great. I have read in other threads that there is one which extends into the roadster bars that blocks more wind.

 

Thanks for your inputs. On other threads i saw a lot of discussion about what people liked about windscreens, but not a lot of info on how well they work. Thanks for giving you experiences on how well the various units perform.

 

Imade my own from smoked Lucite which covers the area behind the rollbars. I would say it blocks ~ 40% of the wind below 60 MPH. Faster than that, it doesn't seem effective at all. It also seems that the spoiler deploying causes more "backwash". My wife, who said "Get something!" says it's better.

Hope this helps.

 

That interesting, being a new Crossfire owner i forgot about the spoiler deploying. That would create an updraft which could round air back onto the passenger. Thanks for your insights!

 

I have used the Chrysler windscreen for two summers. It stops a lot of the wind, not all, and is more effective with the windows up. The lighted one is more stylish. These are available for around $118 + shipping on various sites. Do a google search.

 

"303" Fabric Guard, Fabric Cleaner - excellent!!

We have tried both size windscreens and although the small one looks better IMO the larger one works better. We run the one that covers the hoops now. Otherwise it's wind through the hoops on your neck.

 

I'm not sure which one you are recommending. Where can i see a photo?
thanks!

 

Why would anyone buy a drop top and then worry about a little wind on their neck?

 

With all due respect, little??? My hair is longer, it is a constant battle to find the loose ones flying around slapping into my eyes. We (husband and I) have to pretty much shout to hear each other on the highway. For easy drives in the country it's still windy but being "outside" is part of the whole experience, on the highway, get a windscreen. We are in Michigan, you can leave on a sunny beautiful afternoon and find yourself returning after the sun sets. Shorts and tee shirts don't cut it and I don't always remember to toss a pair of jeans, socks and long sleeve in the trunk. The heated seats are great, here and there we have used the heater too. In town the temp can be 3-6 degrees warmer which makes it misleading when you leave. The next upgrade for us is the windscreen.

 

There's nothing more pleasant than a Sunday afternoon drive when I can't hear the Mrs rant at me - between the wind noise and my high-pitched hearing going. So we just enjoy each others company, quietly.

Yeah, MI has spectacular weather. Suggest you toss a couple sweatshirts in the boot for when it gets colder. You'll find the windscreen helps only a little, and then when the windows are up. But the whole purpose of having a convertible is to enjoy the elements - I find that rain comes directly back along the driver window, then up and over into the car. Makes driving in a sudden thunderstorm an adventure. Sometimes it's just not worth stopping to put the top up when you know you'll be back in the sunshine in 2-3 miles. And somedays you get douched.
