Windsheild protection?
139458
I was told, prior to my purchase, that it would offer paint protection. I don't recall a representation regarding glass protection....As for paint protection, I failed to see any. My Lexus dealership provided a total cost refund and the service department @ the dealership indicated many complaints from other customers. I hope this helps.

Many panels have a specification for hail resistance that conforms to ASTM 1038. The problem is hail is so variable (size, vertical velocity, wind velocity, etc.) that you really can't know with certainty what your particular hail will be. As for protection I assume you would pull something over the panel or panels in the event of hail. Probably unnecessary. When properly installed the panels are inclined at an angle roughly equal to your latitude but small panels like this frequently find their way to the tops of RVs or other flat places where there is little incident angle. In my practical experience hail up to the size of marbles is OK. Getting toward golf balls or baseballs - you could have trouble.

I live in an area of England that has high winds and have never had the cover come off--I like it because it isn't heavy and really is secure--I have a VW Jetta.

No windscreen. Does well in light breeze but should get screen for high wind.

I had that problem with my Motorhome on the beach in terrible winds. I bought a webbed strap and attached it to the door. At least with it it would not get away from me. I attached it at the lock. I loosened the srews of the lock and slipped the strap under it and tightened it back up. I place the hemmed edge under the lock. The strap I bought at Walmart for $2.

I have been in 2 thunderstorms with some winds and it has held up. I used the 4 corner stakes, 4 rope tie stakes provided which are attached, and I use an extra top tarp over the back of my truck where I sleep anchored with bungee cords to my roof rack and then anchored to front of Coleman Screen room with bungees for extra water protection. Without proper securing I'm sure it would fly in the wind as it is very light weight. I love this product but for camping long term and to endure all weather conditions which may arise I do secure it very well.

You're welcome and absolutely reduces the noise of wind rolling over the crossbars. I never heard the wind until I put the crossbars on my SUV, once I installed the fairing I couldn't hear the wind anymore.

Hi.. It would appear it is only a design function, i my self would avoid anything that could be effected by the wind etc. i would just stick with the tried and true, happy viewing.

I've used it outdoors, but it's very sensitive to wind. Keep away from trees, and not over pavement. Training kit recommended.

I have been using norstar in wind, lots of rain and snow. It us holding up and i have checked it is indeed waterproof. It is heavy canvas and I bought the support system to hold up the cover. To keep the pressure points from getting too much of a build up of rain and ripping it. I dont think it is needed but too make it last longer i did.

Ironically, we have had very high winds with storms over the past two days. No problems with the cover what so ever.Works like a charm.

Mainly for wind. It is a deterrent for theft, but if someone really wants to steal something, they will find a way. It does keep it from blowing off in high winds.

Hi we live in Portland Tx, Spring and Summer can be very windy here, 3 corners are anchored to the house and one on Post cemented and then anchor to a tree otherwise the post will bend, hardware used ( steel cable, turnbuckles, anchor mounts) bought at lowes... Haven"t had any issues so far, great shade cover.

Anchors. This thing could blow away in a strong wind without them. Make sure anchor it.

The only problem as I see it is getting secure electrical power to the unit that's mounted outdoors. Then how do you protect the unit from the elements? My answer to your question is probably "NO"! Perhaps this manufacturer makes an outdoor unit to fulfill your need. Good Luck!

I did not use the red thing. Think it is used to mount with something other then the windshield. You only need the holder for the windshhield it is a suction cup.there is a small lip on the cup press the cup against a clean windshield then hold firmly push the lip towards the windshield. It should stay. You may have to practice. I did. But it stays putt very well once you get it there.

Yes, but ypu would want to anchor it so the wind would not blow it away - anchors are included.
