I think the question was: does the windscreen work? I have also considered getting one for long trips with my wife. She really does not like all the wind in the hair thing like I do. If this screen would make her happy I would probably get one. So, does it significantly reduce wind and noise? Thanks
The look is not particularly great and you do have to put it up and down. But for your purpose (and mine, I might add ) it is perfect. Long trips with the top off at 75-80 are not a lot of fun with the top down, constantly adjusting your hat (sunburn on the scalp is no fun at all) and listing to the boss bitchin and moaning. Bottom line, it is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.....
I installed the GM version as a DIY project last year & am pleased with the results. Instructions not the best, but if you're at all handy, shouldn't be a problem. Nothing is perfect in terms of reducing wind buffeting in a 'vert, but it does reduce the effect by 40% or so. Especially useful on longer trips with the top down & only takes a minute to remove if you want to put the top up. Wife like it too.....and I HATE the look of someone driving a 'vert with the windows up!
Before I took delivery, a wind screen was on my list of things to buy. After driving the car with the top down a few times I quickly realized that I didn't need it. The turbulence is minimal and if you put the side windows up a few inches it is reduced even more.
I was kind of happy because although I was all set to order one, I really think they look stupid on the car.
My wife made me get one (first time she told me to buy an add-on for my vert). After 30 grand in goodies that I put on could'nt say no. It works and I like the look. To each his own.
