Default Windscreen installed

Made by Windrestrictor and purchased on Amazon. The plexiglass is thick and looks like A+ quality and craftsmanship. Only took a minute to install (3m tape, 4 contact points).

1. Can you put the top up while it is in place?
2. What does it do, really?

Why bother? I couldn't imagine my vert being any better.

You can put the top up and down with it installed, and it helps reduce wind turbulence for the driver and passenger.

You can check out the information about these and see a video showing the results of having one here: http://www.windrestrictor.com/windre...e8079a5c74d079

And you can get 10% off with the code TENOFF if you order directly from them.

It is amazing how Corvette owners will spend money on just about anything. My C7 convertible has virtually no turbulence at any speed. I can speak to my passenger with ease. I can listen to the radio and talk on the phone and be heard and hear it with no difficulty.

Some people like the benefit these provide. If someone wants to spend their money on their car, more power to them.

I have one too. Like it a lot. Cuts wind turbulence in half.

Does not affect top opening and closing.
