Forward. The front of the car is designed to handle the wind better than rearward. JMO. Jeff

Forward. In addition to what Jeff said, the weight balance will be better.

Forward facing and cover the w/s, and headlights. I covered mine with cutout circles cut from an old corrugated yard sign. Used 2" blue painters tape to hold them on.

Re: Open trailer towing..
Someone said semi truck cab wind deflectors ( cab top to trailers) make good deflector for open trailers and are cheap!
