C7 convertible Corvette owners. Just wondering if anybody's has purchased the GM windscreen for their convertible. Just curious on how it mounts and if it's very effective

I have a 2016 Z vert, no wind screen need, has 75% less noise with the top down than my C5. With the top up, quieter than a coupe.

I see no need for a windscreen. The convertible has hardly any wind buffeting certainly less than the coupe with the top off and quieter. I have driven 130 mph with the top down and it was unbelievable the lack of any significant wind/noise.
GM hit a home run with the convertible design

Nope, as my drop top friends above said, don't need one. Even at 65 mph the buffeting is at a minimum. I thought my C6 was good (and it was), but the C7 is a bit better.
