Cover the front of the foam with a piece of tape, helps.

I`m suprised nobody does a rear seat deflector that goes behind the seats like a convertible car .
The wind in the backseats at 100+ can be a lot.. and the girls hair gets all knotted and I`m tired of hearing about it


about a minute in ... the deflector behind the seats ..

Dan,

We don't run 100MPH (unfortunately), but....

My wife wears a baseball hat all day, with her hair pony-tailed through the hole in the back. Whenever we are underway, she rolls it into a ball and tucks it under the hat. It's certainly not a be-all, end-all solution, but it sure seems to help in keeping the knots at bay

FWIW.... I'm not, in any way, pretending to think your wife doesn't already know this "trick"....

Thanks. Brad.

How does she keep the hat on?

Padraig,

Depending on throttle position, usually one hand on the grab bar and one on top of her head. When we're just cruising, no need to hold the hat on; she's right behind the windshield.

Thanks. Brad.

That's why I gave up on hats. One hand On wheel, the other working throttle and trim. Oops, there goes hat.

Just messing with you, Brad.

Padraig,

All good.

I typically toss my hat into the cuddy whenever we’re underway. Same reasons.

Thanks. Brad.
