Mesh windbreak with double roll hoops

I've been given some stainless mesh which I thought would be ideal for making a windbreak behind the headrests to reduce buffeting. Will probably use something similar to the boot seal along the bottom but not sure what to use to support the upper edge between the rollbars. The "solution" I have at the moment is sturdy enough but not very pretty (hence no pictures)

Do you really think it'll make much difference? It sounds like you are just trying to find a use for some mesh! But post pics anyway

Finding it very difficult to follow the contours of the body neatly - don't have the rubber strip at the moment so using split plastic tubing, and ends aren't finished. Don't want to post pictures yet for fear of ridicule...

That's not stopped you before.........

Chuck out the s/s mesh and make one like Tinkerbell's, it's the best solution I've seen to date.
If that s/s wears through the rubber strip.........

If you finish the wind break I have a couple of old deck chairs you could fit as well.
