My wifes hair.

My dearest wife likes to joyne me in the Spider, but the always back coming question is that here hair blows everywere.
So here question is, what can she use, and what is propriate in this Spider? :D

you're not driving fast enough. Give her a seat cushion so she sits above the windshield frame, and her hair will blow directly back, if you drive fast enough.

failing that, my wife prefers to use a ball cap to keep her hair out of her eyes.

Some have made plexi or mesh deflectors to go behind the seats

A tuque would work - not sure if you call them that in Norway - a knitted ski hat. They've even become stylish in summer!

the mesh wind blockers work very well, even adding a roll bar disrupts the air flow enough to make a big difference

A wind deflector and rolling the window up will help. Or she can do what I do. I get my Fiat hair cut in the summer. It can thrash around all day and look no worse than normal. :D

Just tell your girlfriend to tell your wife how she keeps her hair together.

Finally something I have an answer to! Sad.

My wife prefers a long white silk scarf wrapped around her hair and big "Jackie O" sunglasses! This keeps the hair under control and gets a few style points along the way.

Don't feel bad about not knowing much about the cars. You know more by working on it, so it must mean you haven't had any trouble yet. :mrgreen:

My wife went for a ride with me shortly after I bought my Spider in Feb 2004. She complained about the wind messing up her hair, and she has not been in the car since. She's happy. I'm happy. :lol:

Splurge for her, and let the hobby give you BOTH something to collect!
