Default Wind Deflector Screen Replacement

I have a wind deflector that has some small holes in the screen. Does anyone have an idea how to repair or replace the screen. The frame is in excellent condition.....I have searched the site only to find no responses to other similar questions.

Thank you in advance.

I just placed an order for my first windsreen today. I have been looking for the least expensive one for 3 months. To see how effective one would be, I placed a window screen from my house behind the seats and was amazed the difference it made. I have never held one in my hand, but if it was made, it can be remade. What have you got to lose?

It will keep stuff from blowing out of the area behind the seat, too, if the roll bar is down.

Oh, gee. I forgot to look at my notes to check what year your car is.

I was only joking about the roll bar. I just got an e-mail from KSM, my windscreen has been shipped. Sadly we have been having 95 degree weather this week and I have the top up to use the AC.
