**********************************
I put a lot of freeway/highway miles on every year going to shows.  I found
last year while driving my Westy that I wouldn't recommend having the
skylight open while driving down the highway.  It will rattle no matter
what, even with fresh, new parts and the thing is prone cracking anyway.

When I want fresh air, I open all the dash vents and the middle side
windows.  I mean, that's what they're there for, right?  If not, turn your
AC on.  Don't have AC?  Oh Well ;-)
