Default windjammer

I've been considering getting one of the "windjammer" air deflectors for my coupe. I was hoping to get some opinions to help with my decision. Does anyone have experience with them?

You might want to look into the hatch vent clips instead.

The vent masters work great and far less ugly.

The vent clips was something else I was thinking about. Do they work?

The "windjammer" is an air deflector that attaches at the top of the windshield using the targa latches when the top is out. It is supposed to reduce turbulance and wind noise.

Do the vent clips cut down on the noise?
