An EYEBROW which extends forward over the windshield by a foot or so which will keep rain from coming through the windshield unless you have high wind with the rain. This EYEBROW will allow you to keep the windshield open and the fresh breeze flowing for a far more comfortable cruise during inclement weather. Many days of rain last fall while cruising the rivers between Chicago and Mobile convinced me that is a "must have" in the near future.

A hardtop may be more expensive initially but it certainly would not have to be changed every 5 years and hopefully would not produce places where water drips directly onto stuff that should be kept dry.
