I don't think it's wise to run at speed with the hood up and side screens off... particularly in a tempting rocket like the 8.
Low speeds would be fine, but the parachute effect of wind on the rear of the roof area will stretch and potentially damage it.
Is this because you ride around without the rack?

Last year there were occasions when it was almost too hot in the car hood down, it would have been nice to be able to have side screens off and hood up to keep the car cool.
Part of the problem was the black leather in the roadster which seemed to get very hot very quickly. So Tarka shouldn't heat up so much, and of course there is the A/C!
Being able to remove the rear screen, as is possible with some cars, would also be nice.

I'm going to call mine a 'proper' Morgan. Hahahaha Don't mind me....I just like to remind PeterJ thats he's deserted the trad Trads and moved to the dark side  If they have a Morgan badge on and are built in the shade of the Malvern Hills, they ARE a Morgan!
