Default Re: Wind Wings

I have a 29 Roadster that came with wind wings when I bought it and they are a PIA. The car has so much vibration they kept falling off. One time one fell off and luckily it landed on the Running Board. The next time I was able to catch it before it fell On the road!

The problem with the vibration is probably due to my tendency to over-rev the engine in low and second gears. I'm used to driving my Toyota Corolla with a five speed manual trans. Those small 4 bangers allow you to rev up the engine to 3-4K rpm easily. I've been told to shift the Model A quickly from 1st to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd.

Some guy told me to put some adhesive on the rubber pad and the glass but I haven't gotten around to it. I just took them off. I also understand the repo rubber pads need to be modified.
