As promised, here are the measurements for the "do it yourself" SSR wind baffle. I may have to post this in two threads's due to size limitations...
Get a piece of cardboard and cut a rectangle that is 43 1/2" wide and 14" high.
Make sure you get good straight edges on the bottom and top and true right angles on the corners. Also, to make sure the right and left cuts you will make are the same on each side, I suggest you just fold the cardboard in half when making your cuts.
The opening for waterfall is 10" wide and 5 1/4 high, with a curved cut at the top, rising 1" higher. So, if you were to measure the opening at the center point, it would be 6 1/4 high. Come in 16 3/4" from the side and, from the bottom, cut upwards 5.20". Then cut a gradual curve to the center, rising 1"
To get the right curve for the cuts to the upper right and left sides, hold the cardboard up against the back of the seat, flush with the top of the roll bar and the side of the seat. Trace the curve. The part you will remove on the right and left won' be alot. Cut the curve for the top of the seats.
Now you should have a good template, without the holes for the studs.
Remove the bumpers and save the OEM caps and nuts.
The studs need to come through the cardboard exactly 2" up from the bottom edge of your template. The outside stud will be about 8 3/4 from the outside and the inside stud will be about 4 1/2" from the inside of the waterfall cut. Move the seats full forward (REMOVE THE CUPHOLDER FIRST!) Put the template in position and press firmly until the studs pop through. Put the OEM nuts back on to hold the template in place and raise the roof. Check for clearence on the upper left and right sides.
