Reverse airflow, has it got vertical take off as well

Aeros are comfy although long drives are still slightly wearing top down. Another great reason to wait for the Aero GT3!!

The only bit on my car which is slightly wearing on a long drive is the tyres

Back to this topic!

I fitted the wind deflector supplied by Williams: it hasn't really solved the problem.

So I'm going to fit rear mudflaps, as detailed by DW, see my separate thread. But I think putting a luggage box on the rack is also worth trying: the one I have is a nice leather one and not ideal, so a cheapish plastic one that can be secured to the rack makes some sense. I seem to recall there have been suggestions..time for a search!

Peter I suffer with the same issue which did not occur on my previous plus 8 or Roadster.
Have you already tried a rear mesh type wind deflector as are used on many modern sports cars ?

Yes, limited success but it is the one designed for the Trad so is 10cm narrower than the body.

There is another thread on this subject, here:

Wet Screen

It seems to be a very complex aerodynamic issue with no simple answer (other than a good cleaning cloth). I wouldn't be surprised to find 2 otherwise similar cars where one did this and one didn't!
