Comp cars(289's) were required to have operable windshield wipers and windshields to conform to FIA rules, though there are a few photos around showing the SA comp cars sans wiper arms racing in Europe. USSRC rules did not require either and the wipers and motor and windshield were often removed by both SA and privateers to save some weight . The windshield was replaced with the small comp plexi shield.
I believe all 289's were delivered with tops as well as tonneau covers from AC
