  1. Convertible Windscreen alternative, courtesy of Audi!

    You will love it. I rarely put it down but when I do and I forget to put the screen back up in the morning I can really feel the difference, maybe 50% of the wind is cut with it up. It makes for a much more comfortable drive, love it.

    Aggie96, Any update on the installation of your SmartTop Module? Curious how it goes. Thanks.
  3. Convertible Windscreen alternative, courtesy of Audi!

    I am sure you will be happy with the SmartTop. On my MB I had to find and splice into a power source and attach to a ground. On the S550 it seems to be 100% plug-n-play, should be an easy install, plus you can clean any of the plastic you drilled for the Audi screen while you are back there. The...

    Looks identical, just the part numbers are different. I located the hole locations at the 1.25 & 2.25 dimensions (Update: I actually set the holes at 1.13" and 2.13"). Seems to fit pretty well without too much squeeze on the rear seats and room for the front seat in the easy exit position with...

    Sdiver68, Thanks again. I went into my local Ace Hardware store and they did not have any grommets with numbers like the 55058-H. I ended up grabbing one with similar dimensions, Do you remember what the panel thickness measurement was on yours? Going out to layout the hole locations now. Scott

    Sdiver68, Great job! That does look factory. I thought about using rubber grommets after reading Aggie96's original post. I found some on McMaster-Carr but I like your Ace part idea better, easier to get. I received my windscreen yesterday but it came from a home with smokers and stinky animals...

    Well let's see how these plastic fittings hold up in the Florida heat and at highway speeds, might be another option. Aggie96, I hope you figure out how to defeat the top operation speed sensor. On my SN-95 I added a momentary switch next to the top switch that closed the ebrake circuit, worked...

    I made the parts exactly .50" including the tape. I used your picture to estimate the correct angle and printed the prototypes at 19.5 degrees. Tape discs do not arrive for a week so I should have the windscreen by then.

    Thanks. CVCashmere asked for a way to use it without the holes. I 3D printed a couple of cup type fittings for the pin to rest in that can be taped to the panel using some good 3M tape. I have no issues with the holes but I will give these a try and report back.

    Aggie96, Mine has not arrived yet. The first one I won on eBay turned out to be a flake seller. Are the pins spring loaded and do they have to travel the full stroke to latch? Thanks, Scott

    Perfect thanks. Will the hole locations be pretty obvious? I assume I nest the back end under the rear headrests then level it and mark the pin locations? Thanks again, Scott

    Aggie96, Thanks for this great alternative to the other Mustang options out there. I just bought one on eBay. Can you tell me the bag dimensions so I can figure out if I need it shipped or if I can have someone pick it up in a suitcase. Thanks again for this great idea, Scott
