For All you Convertible Owners!?
I just got a silver 2011 GS Convertible. Now I am asking you guys who has the best priced windscreen?? I have not driven with the top down yet since I just picked it up a few days ago. Letting the top stretch out since they had it down in the show room floor. Also those of you that have it installed how do you like it??
Thanks in advance for your responses..

Never found I needed one and have owned multiple Corvette converts. I have driven mine with the top down on the freeway many times at 70-75 and never really was bothered by any excessive wind buffeting in my C6.

I never felt like I needed one either, and I do 500 mile trips with the top down....however, if you have a wife that feels it's necessary, better to get one.

I just sold a Corvette convert that had the light tan top with 98k miles on it and many times I left the top down for 2-3 months at a time and it didn't look any different when I put it up then if I had it down for just a few hours. Top still looked like new when I sold it and I just cleaned and treated it with RaggTopp products once a year to keep it looking new.

I do think there is significant wind buffeting unlike some of my C1 Vettes of yesteryear. I have less than 1/3 the hair I had 50 yrs ago but I definitly feel the need to comb today and I do not remember having that need then. I don't have a wind screen and not likely to get one. If I am driving on a thruway at 70-80mph I tend to raise the windows. They do reduce the wind somewhat. Give it a try before you make a decision. If I am with the wife at that speed, I can assure you the top is up. Her noise can be loader than the wind.

I have the vette net. Only use it on long highway trips. Honestly not worth the price. If it stayed in yes. I forgot the brackets on the sides and chipped the fiberglass on the inside when it closed.

Her top was off ... or your top was down? I know peeps say it makes a difference, but just looks funky (pimped if it has lights) and is what, a wall behind you - and more like a coup, so why have a vert?

I don't usually put it in place unless wife is with me but Vettenet and it's storage case is the way to go.
