Now I am sorry that I missed an on&off box when creating the poll but my original intention was to find out what is your preferred option and gets more milage.

Rattling aside, they do keep the air a bit more still on nippy mornings. I commute and find they offer a little bit of privacy from constant glaring too. But then with them on the 'Morgan arm' is not in its official position.

Tip - I also make sure that her flaps are wide open before I take them down - works a treat once the engine is warmed up. We are talking about the Mog here, I take it?

Without sidescreens my glasses tend to leave my nose without warning above 80 km/h. So my rule of thumb is: short, scenic and winding drives where I rarely reach 80 km/h: sidescreens removed, all other occasions: sidescreens up.
For my feeling aesthetics are by far better without sidescreens.

 insists on side screens being fitted for any journey over about 15 miles unless the temperature is verging on meltdown. Reminds me of a dutch .........

Sidescreens are an absolute last resort. They only go on in serious rain when the top goes up. If I don't need the top, I don't need the 'screens.

It depends. On a blustery day driving down the California coast I like the side screens when driving. On a hot day in the mountains, I will probably leave them off, so that I can see the magnificent sights the Mountains have to offer. On a very long day, when it is lots of miles, my goal, the side screens offer some respite from the buffeting. Side screens are one of tools of a Morgan. Use them or not as You prefer.
My friend Loretta does not like them nor the hood. Thinks it is unsafe (She has more miles in a Morgan than I will ever have). It is not aesthetics for Her. It is Her perceived safety that She is concerned with.

HATES side screens so never used in dry weather, but we do like wind deflectors. find these enough to keep the hair out of my eyes.
