Interesting...do you hear any "flapping" while driving? I originally wanted to just use whatever thin, red plastic was lying around the house but was afraid that a not-so-tight fit would mean that the blocker wouldn't stay in place...

If you start hearing things, maybe little rubber nubs are the answer?

Well, any of you homemade geniuses have any ideas how to make a windblocker for the rollhoops themselves? I already have MajorHavoc's windblockers and they certainly do the trick for the back of my neck, but there's still air coming through the roll hoops etc.

It stays in place since the plastic is secured by those 4 tabs, that's why I cut the piece larger than the opening. No fluttering or noise whatsoever, it sits flush against the black mesh once you snap the headrest cover back on.
