Default Opinion: Vert Wind Spoiler???

Has anybody had experience with either the Vet Nette or Wind Baffles Special Wind Spoiler? More curious about the Wind Baffle considering it's half the cost and transparent.

Thx

There's a post in the For Sale section that roused my interest. I also visited the website (www.windbaffle.com). It appears to be nothing more than lexan plexi with a strap.

I'm curious if the baffle can really stay attached while lowering/raising the top unlike the vet net which requires removal? Also wonder if the solid surface causes wind buffeting against the seat?

I've never seen one, but it looks to me like raising/lowering the top should be no problem...

but then again, a quick trip to home depot and a couple of hours of work might yield similar results
