Default Eckler's 'Windjammer' for wind noise

Who'se got one? supposedly cuts wind noise down greatly when driving with tops off. Not cheap at 149 bux but it would be a cool sun visor too.

I've seen posts about them in the past. Some like them, some don't. I think they look cool. Kinda gives a coupe the convertible look. I think you have to attach the front to the windshield frame with velcro. I don't like that.

Velcro? That dog don't hunt! I hope it's done better than that!

Fred good question! The pic in their catalog looks completely different. Is yours installed in that pic or is it up on end?

Sorry Paul, just my attempt at a little humor see the paint can in the rear? That's the rear trim piece I took out because the exhaust and subwoofer was making it vibrate and driving me crazy so I put a strip of rubber weather strip around the edge and cleaned & spruced it up a bit before I put it back in.

I made one for my 93 from a piece of 1/4" X 2 3/4" tinted acrylic from tap plastics. Used a heat gun to form the curve of the top of the windshield, etc. Works great, I can drive at 80 mph with my golf cap on. Cost me $10...

I have one, and it attaches with allen head bolts. I think it works well, but mine came with the car when I bought it. I don't know if I'd pay $149 for one.
