Waiting for first decent day to try mine out. Made a partition today. Hope it helps in cutting down wind and noise from the back

Let me know how well it works, I was thinking about doing something just like this as a rear deflector. Why spend $400 on one when you can make it for less than $50?

I've seen this post and my feeling on it, as a wind deflector, is that it will sit too far back to be of benefit. I feel it needs to sit directly behind the seats, cover a larger area and be made of plexiglass.

Had one on a C5 convertible that mounted behind the seats......very little effect on wind except at very low speeds.

Well it cost me less than $10. That was for carpet to cover it.
