Default Not enough to bother putting it up. I also do not use the cover anymore...way too much of a pain in
the *** to keep on taking it out of trunk and putting it on. It makes for a nice ornament in my garage, though.

Default I honestly do ... most of the magazine articles I read said no as well.
I think it makes a difference. I've driven around the city here in Providence when it was 20 degrees out with both windows and the windscreen up, with the heat on high and felt perfectly comfortable. It creates a nice little "bubble".

With the windows up too, yes. With only the rear wind blocker up, not really.

Side windows have to be partially up in order for the rear windscreen to do anything.
