convertible wind break

Can anyone comment on the convertible wind break? I saw in the current Eckler's catalog page 25, part number 38746. Does it work and how is it perfect for tall drivers?

Thanks in advance.

I would say it helps break some of the wind getting into the compartment - I dont care for the looks of one in use - but its nice to have a little less wind blasting you sometimes, like when it gets colder. They are fairly cheap - so i would have one.

I have the plexi glass vette net and it does work. I am 6 feet tall and what I did was put a wine cork in each leg to raise it up a few inches. Like I said it works great.

I have a vette net, and I hate it! I am 6'2", and the vette net is not tall enough to keep the wind off me. My wife is only 5'1", and she says there is still too much wind.
