They probably mean that it uses the existing T-top mounts (the two holes next to the sunvisors), just like the Astro Top.
I don't know if the convertible has the same holes ??

I'm sure it will reduce noise and wind inside the car - it is just a little overpriced IMO

I would think about buying it if it was cheaper.

I have also been looking at one for a while and having trouble taking the plunge due to cost. Maybe Scott can hook us up with a better price if there are a few of us interested.

I hope this comes out right.

In my opinion, the T-Top Cars look terrible with the tops off. It is kinda like you could not afford a vert. I like the coupes because of the way they look with the tops on. I have never had mine off.

On the other hand, I do own a Corvette Convertible. I like it mostly because of the contrasting colors. The top is up 75 percent of the time.

So, no WindJammer for me.
