    Well it works very well! At 100IAS there was hardly any movement in the front of window the back still flutters but not as violently. Only down fall can't put it on while Flyin.(gotta take off with window open) I used insulation for 1/2" pipe not quite big enough to get back to window frame. Probably 3/4 or 1" would be better. The back window channel took some of the flutter out of the back window but still there it's not gonna push it out now anyway. I think over 80 is probably to fast for window and door open.

    Thanks Chuck for the update. I got some pipe insulation left over at the hanger that I made some spacers for my bungee covers. I will try it tomorrow.

    Would the pipe insulation also be a temporary fix for the back window?
