The way the aerodynamics of this car work, the air is eddying behind the passenger compartment and actually pushing forward. Ever notice how driving without the windscreen creates a breeze from the back?

That's why the meshes and the transparent windscreen snap in from the back! These Porsche guys are smart!

I zip tie loosely.
I drilled a hole in the bottom of my center screen so I could also zip tie that. Those things are constantly taking a lot of wind buffeting especially the center screen

agreed; If blowing out was a problem, designers would have accounted for it. I never had a problem at speeds well in excess of 100 mph.
