Full width, about 6" high does the job nicely. Is fine for almost everything and not bad on the motorway. Less buffing than a full screen.

I'm very happy with the one I got from MAC#1 it has folded bits at the edge which reduce buffeting.

I have to change it for a full screen to meet the Hillclimb regs though

I think the perfect height depends on several factors;
Seat height
Driver height
Car body design / height.


Also some screens (including normal ones)allow the wind to Vortex in over to make it even more complex (nowts ever straight forward is it!). I know someone with Tiger Avon and screen who complains that at 70mph there is a void in front of his face that makes it very difficult to breath, its almost as if the wind going over the top is sucking the air out of the cockpit area.

I too favour the Mac1 screen - not the prettiest but designed for my car and some thought went into the built in side screen profile to minimise Vortexing. My father has the MK fibreglass aeroscreen on his - got the angle wrong at first but after adjusting it works well for him and looks quite good as well (he sits well down in his car though, i get it across the eyebrows a bit).

It might be best to canvass the people who have similar car to yours and see what theyve done, otherwise you will just end up with a list of all of the screens available.
