C6 Vert Wind Deflector??
Has anyone purchased/installed the GM wind deflector? How well does it work? Was it easy to initially install? Is it easy to remove/install regularly? Does it fill up the trunk when removed?

I have the GM screen on my new vert. My friend and I installed one on his about 2 weeks before my wife and I installed ours. It took my friend and I about 45 minutes to do it. It took my wife and I about 15 minutes. It is realatively easy to take on and off. I mainly use mine because I have to drive on the highway to get home from anywhere.

I am quite pleased with the wind screen. Installed it a couple of months ago in about an hour. It substantially moderates wind buffeting at hwy speeds. It is rather cumbersome to put on but at the moment is the only decent solution offered. I keep mine in the trunk and put it on whenever needed.

I have found that buffeting is reduced with the screen up and the windows down and substantially reduced with the windows up and the screen up.
The screen allows you to drive the car with the top down at hwy speeds and for extended time periods without getting a new hairline on the back of your head!
