Will do, although it will be a couple of days.

Well thanks stinks :( ... maybe yours has just made that indentation from the force of being thrown back when you step on the throttle

Haha. Very possible

I am also 6'4 so I'm wondering if I'm putting pressure when I sit down. Maybe seat is pushing against the screen pushing it against the seat. I'll check and see how it fits when I put the top down.

I have a small gap between my seat and windscreen...its a 2011....something different with the newer models maybe?

I wonder if the one's that don't touch are the same size.

Camero5 · 08-13-2014, 06:18 PM

Checked mine and doesn't look like it's touching but when I sit down, my seat is putting pressure on it and pushing it against the seat. Adjusted my seat so it's not leaning on it. I'm 6'4.

My back seat hits the car before it can reach the Windscreen.

Loveride · 09-15-2014, 03:13 PM

The problem is obviously the sub woofer and the way the center of the seat sticks out further than a seat without the woofer. There has to be a way to alter the front posts that lock into each side so that the screen will mount a tad bit forward and doesn't push into the back seat. A very short offset attachment to the posts on each end could work. I am ordering a windscreen for my 2014 vert which has that seat with the sub woofer in the center and will report back if I have to make some sort of offset adapter to move the windscreen forward a little.

Let us know if that works, I would like to try and figure out a way to get it away from the seat yet still keep it secure and stable.

any updates? i have been thinking of getting one, but dont want to destroy my back seat by using one.

I'm curious if people with the "Love The Ride" windscreens are having the same rubbing issue?

Loveride · 09-20-2014, 01:44 PM

I'm currently workin with Dan at "Love The drive" to see if there's a solution to this problem and should know something by this week.

CaliDave · 10-02-2014, 02:33 PM

My windscreen isn't love to ride.

Loveride · 11-24-2014, 04:38 PM

Here's the latest. I went ahead and purchased a "Love The Drive" windscreen that fits a convertible with a CDC sport bar installed and I found that on this windscreen the horizontal part barely touched the center of the back seat without any adjustment at all. I wanted more of a gap so I made an easy minor adjustment and relocated the two parts that extend and lock into the holes for the windscreen. Now, there's more of a slight gap that prevents the windscreen from pushing into the seat and rubbing. The only tools I used were a Philips screwdriver to remove the screws then slide the part back to line up with the next two holes in the locking part.
