Hence giving me the open window I desire while pushing air over it and not in my car. Don't know if it would work, but hell, once I am done with the pan, I'll use any extra material to try it out.
Its worth a try. The experts on the satellite dish forums (I still use a 10 ft c-band dish) say that anything over 25 mph wind or so, a mesh dish ends up acting like a solid dish anyway so it still gets the same effects from the wind.
