Default Vette Net Wind Break

Anyone use the Vette Net Wind Break with their Vert? I'm looking at a used one and am considering it - can't tell for sure but it looks like it may not allow you to put seats all the way back. Any clue on this?

I'm 6'4" so seats back is a must for me. I'm a wearer of hearing aids and the wind buffeting is really noticeable at highway speeds - hoping this will quiet things down a bit.

Thanks!

I have a vette net, if you get the original with the mesh, it's great. Looks fine, the only downside is that you cannot put the hood up with it on, you need to put it away. REALLY cuts down on wind noise

thanks. From the pics I’ve seen, it seems like it might inhibit you from having the seat
all the way back. What do you think?

Not the one that I have --- they had two versions, one with mesh and one with plexi. I own the one with mesh, and the stock seats go back all the way (never tried it with my c7 seats though I don't see it being an issue).

Thanks!! You have this on a C5, correct? The one I’m looking at is the mesh one. There just isn’t much info on these online. Want to be sure if I get it I can still have seats all the way back. If so I’m going to give it a try.
