Air current in roadster

Horsie · 11-07-2010, 02:24 PM

This is my first roadster, so it my seems silly.
I don't live in "California" and with temperatures of 15-20 C and with the top down and windows up, I have a big problem with the current of air on the back of my neck.

I've tried with a scarf, but my ear is not protected.

Is this a design flaw?
I would love something as Air Scarf (Mercedes SLK).

Gee, I dunno, it's a convertible??

Do you get a prize by stating the obvious ?
Did you tried an TT or SLK?

This is my first vert and I haven't driven any other makes/models to compare but I feel the air tubulence is controlled very good. However, unless there is a crosswind, the only draft is behind my neck as you noted and everywhere else inside is fine. However, it is a vert and some air turbulence should be expected.

It was a joke on my part. Relax. Driven an SLK, so I know about the scarf heater. It still has air on the back of the neck. Owned several verts and driven many more. They all have air. The roof is gone, so don't know what else you expected?? Basically, you stated the obvious, not me.

There will soon be a petition for a TSB for "exposure to outside air when roadster top retracted".

I tuck mine in to the garage every night with more affection than I sometimes give my children at bedtime...

I can't put mine in the garage

If the roof is down the windows should be also, if it's to cold for your high heels keep the roof up

On that note if the windows are down then the cold air stays in the front by the vents, so just turn the heat on. but it is a convertible so if it's cold you might just have to suck it up and keep the roof up
