Default Vert owners, any experience with Divert a Breeze in stead of the Vette Net?

Any vert owners use this product from Corvette Central?

I know the Vette Net is the most popluar choice, but my roll bar will get in the way and this looked like it was worth trying.
Anyone have any experience?

I've got one. It works pretty well, and the wife likes it when she drives around.

If this is the one I've seen at shows, you have to have the seats with the hole in them. This thing buttons or snaps through there to keep it from blowing off. Won't work on my Z.

I have one, seems to do it's job. . . that is of reducing the amount of wind "buffeting", and making it much easier to carry on conversations. However, I also have light oak interior, so it doesn't look real cool. Therefore, only gets used when cruising with wife.

The other advantage is that it goes on and off quickly (velcro), and folds up and stores easily! Good value for the price compared to Vettenet.

Good deal. I have Black Sport seats so it will match fine. I only need to help with the wind buffetting when my wife's with me.

rick, if you want to try out a vette net, I have one that is laying in the garage, you can see if it will fit before making the choice.

I came close to buying a VetteNet a couple of years ago and decided against it. It was near 50-50 with those who felt it worked well and those who didn't. I think there are a lot of them laying around in garages unused. The Divert a Breeze, if it works well, has a great price and would be easier to store when not in use.
