Has anyone tried using a spacer under the rear of the Targa top, say about an inch or two to make a vent? Since my top has to be and is bolted down in the rear I thought this might help break the vacuum that forms behind the rear window? I have seen a couple with plexiglass/lexan rear windows with several holes across the width which would do the same thing I think?

No track miles on mine yet, but I did it.
Mine is a vintage car also, and will have a roof. I Dzus fasten my roof on to the roll cage, so I just made the mounts on the cage tall enough to give it the 1.5 (or so) inch of clearance in the back... I'm doing holes in the rear window too... but only on the passenger side. I get nervous about pulling or cutting the rear window in half since I suspect the most likely fire location will be on top of the carbs, right behind my head. brant |
