I have one for my '05. I just purchased the car with the screen less than three weeks ago. I have used the screen some and it it does work pretty good. I had hoped that it would be better than it is. But I guess if I want no wind turbulence I'll just push the buttom and put the top up. I have found that running with the windows up and the screen in place works best.

Yes!! A must buy if you drive on the highway with the top down!
From a previous post.
This is a must have...!
You put these in when putting the net on, remove them after removing the net... and before raising the top.

Another opinion would be... that it looks absolutely ridiculous and shouldn't be on a Corvette!
Nothing wrong with a little wind, it's a convertible for God's sake. Roll the windows up if wind hurts ya, anything but that silly screen

Vette Net versus Chevy Windscreen
I have used both. The Vette Net does a better job of blocking the wind but it is relatively small and the bar in the back was in my line of site. The Chevy is a true windscreen (the Vette Net uses Lexan like plexiglass) and thus does distort the view some what. It does work and allows some wind but very little turbulance.
Of the two I kept the Chevy because I could not get the vette net adjusted for the top bar. When I adjusted at the highest point the bottom bar was in the way. My wife 5'2" did not have any prblem with the Vette Net. great people to deal with.
The Chevy has a switch that prevents the top from being raised with the screen in place and the removal is easier than the vette net when to be stored. The Chevy is difficult to install the first time but easier after the install.
I use the screen when I have riders thus it is in the trunk most of the time but it does work well

I agree the look of the windscreen is not as clean as the smooth lines of top down mode, BUT it is a nice feature if you're doing extended cruises at high speeds.
I agree with earlier post that it is most effective with windows up at high speeds... during other driving conditions it does not have much affect. I went with the GM screen because I think it has a neater installation bracket, but it is more expensive and trouble to do the initial install.

I have had both on my car and kept the GM screen. It did a better job and the Vette Net rattled, so it was returned. I also didn't like the idea that the "glass" could become scratched.
