Folks,
Further research with bits of wool to show airflow confirms it is the gap between the rubber stripthat protrudes below the end of the sidescreen that is the problem. This is because of the new design of sidescreen in that previous models have a sidescreen on which the contoured back curves up and backwards below the window and the current one is a straight edge up under the window frame. Thus there is a gap between the rubber strip and the front edge of the hood and the quarter panel at the back of the sidescreen. I have ordered some wide strip neoprene from Woolies to bridge this gap and seal out the gale. I’ll report further when the Woolies order arrives

A case of a re-design being a backward step, I think
