Default Comments on Vette net wind deflector?

I ordered and installed a vette net wind deflector in my c5 last week and it prevents me from moving my seat all the way back. Anyone have any comments or suggestions? Thanks.

I have the same problem with mine so i just move the seat up about 1" so it dosent rub the wind deflector are sometimes i tilt the back up 1 click and it seems to work fine for me.
I am 6'4" so i have learned to deal with it.

It works!

Especially if she wears contacts.

My S/O will not drive with the top down unless the Vette Net is installed

It does work.

It reduces the wind bufetting effect and helps being able to hear conversations, radio etc.

Installation is easy: there are two adaptors that fit under the tops cover. Into these adaptors the Vette Net sits (see web site for pics).

The rear view is really not affected since the Vette Net material is 'screen'.

As a note- if they do not have your Vettes color - getting these painted is a piece of cake

The new vette net is not screen it is plexaglass and shorter and seems to do alot better job than the old screen one did mine is plexaglass and works great.
