Default Wind Deflectors

I have a C6 convertible and my wife's only complaint is the blowing around of her hair when the top is down. I was wondering whether anyone has tried the the wind deflectors that go behind the seats. The claim is that they reduce buffeting, improve the sound system and reduce noise. I'd be happy if they merely cut down on buffeting.

I have the Windrestrictor made of plexiglass. Works great. But.
Limits the maximum recline on the seat if the seat is all the way back
(I am 6' tall) Other than that it is great. My wife loves it..Ed

Buy her a helmet and drive like you are tracking the car. Then offer her a scarf and normal driving. She will either kill you or take th scarf and your problem is solved either way.
