YJ back-draft
 

I took the doors (including rear door) off my 95 Wrangler hardtop.

The back-draft coming in thru the open rear bothers me ... exhaust
fumes ... fine mist of water when roads are wet ... etc etc.

Any suggestions?

Re: YJ back-draft
 

Real Wrangler owners don't worry about a "fine mist of water" but exhaust
can be a legitimate concern. With the front doors off though I do not
believe that this will be a problem. I suppose that you already know that
you should never, ever drive with the back door open or off and the front
doors and windows closed.

It might sound snarky and unhelpful, but put the rear door back on. All
that you are doing is creating a relative vacuum in the cabin and then
sucking in the crappy air from behind you.

Bestop makes a thing they call a Windjammer, really just a soft wall that
straps to the roll bar. You might consider trying that it you really want
that rear door off.

Re: YJ back-draft
 

It is the nature of the beast. I like driving with my back window
rolled up, but then always leave the front windows down. That gives the
air somewhere to go so I don't get gassed out.

Taking the top off is the best for flow, second is a bikini top.

Something like a wind jammer that goes across the roll bar will stop
backflow from hitting you, but with a top on the gasses will build up
strong in the back and the windjammer isn't air tight so condensed
gasses can get you with no front flow through.
