Windblocker
Hi, everyone. I'm new to the forum, and a new Corvette convertible owner. Does anyone know of a windblocker that I can leave in place and still be able to raise and lower the power top? With the GM windblocker one has to manually take it out and put it back in when raising or lowering the top.
Many thanks
Amy

to my knowledge, I know of 2 one being the GM, and neither can be left in place. the other one does have a lower profile but still needs to be removed.
Oh, btw, Welcome~!

You can always buy the windblockers later if this doesn't work.

Welcome to the forum
That is exactly why I don't have one. I have a power top so I really didn't want to have to get out to manually remove/install the wind block(I would probably never use it)
Try it with out. I have never had a wind problem but the reason I put the top down is for the wind in the (whats left of it) hair.
I have read that it doesn't make alot of difference and the folks that say it does, roll their windows up to. If I put the top down I am definitely not rolling the windows up.

Welcome Amy.
I agree with the others, I haven't seen one that can be left in place. When I first got the C6 4 years ago I thought the windscreen looked sort of
The fact that the windscreen had to be removed, before putting up the top, was a major deterrent.
