Subject:Re: Window rain shields?

Good to know there are different types.   I want the ones that come down a
little to shield from wind-blown rain.   The ones on the Safari Van also
seem to deflect a bit of wind noise when driving, though as someone
mentioned, they must sometimes be looked-through if you are tall in the
saddle.
