Windjammer for C7

Does anyone know if they are building a Windjammer or similar device for C7s. The wind and noise is ridiculous at highway speeds.

Lots of threads here about them. Noise and wind in my vert with the top down at highway speeds isn't bad at all.

I have a coupe and it's not tolerable at highway speeds.

I've never seen a windjammer for a coupe. It was bad in my C6 coupe as well.

They made them for coupes in other years.

I had a prototype Windjammer for my 2008 coupe and found it clumsy and not that effective, not to mention pretty ugly when installed. I'm not in a hurry for one for the C7.

What you are hearing is buffeting over the roof, very common. Quick fix, at high way speeds, crack each window 1" (elevates the pressure), and that bad sound is gone...

This surprised me. On my test drive I had the roof off the entire time and was very impressed with how little noise came in the cabin. I did have both windows either completely down or cracked at all times.
