Sorry, I know you didn't ask for opinions and no offense intended but.....I gotta say....driving around with the trunk propped open 3" just seems weird.....and wrong.

Do you not like the convertible windscreens?

I wasn't aware the Vent Master was also for a Vert.
I think it's only meant to be used on a Coupe.
Isn't the Trunk closed off from the interior cabin whether the Vert Top is up or down?

I was looking at the Vent Master for my Coupe.
But, I'm glad I didn't get it now.
With the top off and windows down, there is really minimal turbulence even at 70 + MPH on the highway

The ventmaster products are designed for coupes. I'm not sure if it would even work on a convertible.

Thanks for the reply but Ecklers does list both coupe and convertible models and yes it does not seem possible to vent cabin on a convertible.
