Default MOdifying Smittybilt C•RES to be windproof

I'm looking for a quick and easy solution to sealing off the back of my 4 Door from the rear windows - back when I've got the kids in the back to keep the wind from beating them. Currenlty I have some 30 mil clear plastic wrapped around the rear seats going from one door surround to the other, but there are no good attachment points and some wind can still get through. My goal is to be able to take the soft top off completely and eliminate all wind coming from behind the jeep into the rear seats.

I have the RR Island topper/combo brief both in Mesh and Solid.

I keep the mesh installed permanently and I keep the Solid in the trunk for when it's cold or raining

My Idea was to take the Smittybilt C•RES, and glue (with some darn good glue) my 30 mil plastic to each line of the webbing, from the rear rollbar section back, effectively sealing off the rear, then I would still have the mesh and soild brief there, ending at the same location.

Basically I would be turning the Smittybilt C•RES into the back of the trektop (which I do not believe you can buy just the rear section separately.

All this because Bestop does not make a wraparound wind-jammer for the 4 door to go along with my bestop duster deck cover
