 |
|
| I drive a 71SB and it's hot in the summers in Texas. I saw a picture somewhere of a popout windshield on a bug and I'm wondering if that's something that could be put on a 71SB. Does anyone sell a kit? Thanks in advance. |

| You open the windshield and you won't be shielded from the wind anymore and that hot air will quickly cook you and dry out your eyes, just roll down the windows and open the wind wings to deflect the air, if your rear side windows have pop-outs open them. |

Only use when parked, of course.
Same as Bus Safaris. Anything over about 10mph is not tolerable, regardless of temperature! |

I have the fruiz pop outs on my 71. They are nice.I would bet you would be happy enuff with rear pop outs and open sides and a vent wing to deflect the blast from your face. Plenty of air circulation, and you won't be driving 50+ with a safari windshield!

Don't read it then 
I was talking to a guy at a local show with one of the front windshield safari kits. He said it leaked like crazy in the rain. That's reason enough to turn me off to them. I don't do cars that can't be driven in all weather.
