I already have a supply of polyester, so I am committed for now. And supposedly the polyester is the new style. A thought about making it more rigid... maybe some wire mesh, thicker than a screen, between two layers of glass.

Here is what it looks like today, after it was reattached yesterday. Ugly! I am out of black duct tape and I have some old pink duct tape from my daughter that has been laying around for years... using it up. Not gonna waste paint on this temporary build.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
