I see a need for one. I find the buffeting quite significant at speed, but if it doesn't work, then clearly it's a waste of money. However, I've yet to see a good review of its effectiveness one way or the other.

I was thinking of getting one but have not had a chance to frive around without the top yet (it is snowing here today and still cold).
Has anyone pruchased a Wind Screen that can comment on it's function?
They have been pretty good on other vehicles I've been in with it.

Or might make things worse??? Just thoughts. Even if you didn't want to strap a sheet of plexiglass to your headrests (like the wind baffle product), maybe some other type of baffle could be fabricated to block the opening, a nice custom piece that would fit nice and seal the opening well. ???

It worked on my other verts
I had the cloth version for my '04 and '00 and it made a night and day difference. You could read the paper (the passenger) while driving 75-80 mph. I plan and getting the factory wire mesh one for my '05.

I had one on a BMW M Roadster and it was a waste. Consequently, I'm reluctant to go in that direction again. Besides, I don't see it as a real problem at any speed with my C6. Clearly, others feel differently or no one would make them.
