  • Love my t-tops, but hate crap in my eyes!

    When I drive with my tops off - it NEVER fails.. I end up getting about a hundred things in my eyes. And I always wear sunglasses. Still no dice, the crap still magically gets around the glasses & straight into my eyes. When I get to my destination, my eyes are redder than satan himself.

    Anyone have any tips or found a way to keep the eye poop to a minimum?

      Leave the T-tops on

      Me and the GF usually do not have that problem

      oh and I'm 6'3" and I have Oakley Romeo's (X-metal) wrap around sunglasses (if these are factors)

        How tall are you? I've never had that problem. My eyes fall almost even, but slightly below the top of the windshield frame. My only suggestion would be to pull your seat up a bit. Might be tough if you are too tall though.

          Gotta luv the t-tops, but the junk in yours eyes would get old.

          I've not had the problem either, but I'm only 5'2" and my seat is all the way forward, and therefor I sit kinda low.

          Maybe try some kind of Oakley (or other brand) driving glasses, that have a slight wrap-around and closer fit. That's if you're not already using something like this.

          Guess there's always motorcyle goggles/glasses.

          Heck, couldn't stand having t's and not using them

          Good luck

                heh.. good suggestions

                I'm 6'1" and wear Oakley minute sunglasses. They kind of wrap around.

                I'm going to try moving my seat position to lessen the forces of the cabin hurricane.

                  I'm 5'10", and seem to be just in the right spot to avoid stuff flying in my eyes. Moving your seat up might do it. Hope it works.

                    must be something to do with hight and seat position, judging from the posts here... although...i never noticed a bunch of foriegn stuff on the front of my shirt.........

                      Leaving mine on one afternoon literaly kept crap out of my eye. I was gonna take then off because it was a nice afternoon, but I hopped in the car and took off forgetting about them. About 10 minutes later I was going down the highway and a big splat of bird dookie landed directly above my head. That would have sucked big time.

                            Wish I lived further north..... tops off in the summer here is like being in an oven, unless at night then its cool.
