I think it looks really good. Love the light-up feature.

I get wind not wind “buffeting” with the top off. I drive with the top off on the California highways. I guess it’s all relative as I do the same with a convertible with a windscreen in back.

If you’re happy that’s what matters!

Looks great. This is already on my never-ending list of 'things to get.' One of the best things about the C7 IMHO is that targa top - and we love driving with the top removed on nice days. No buffeting - but there is wind.

Did you find that it quiets the cockpit down a bit because of the reduced air movement? Would a phone call via airpods or bluetooth be possible with this in place - or at least improved?

Hard for me to tell from the great pictures - how does this affect your reaching back between the seats to get at items in the hatch area?

I got mine directly from the manufacturer but there are a number of Forum Supporting vendors that sell them, just do a search for Windrestrictor.

Nyvetteguy007- looks very cool. May be worth considering. In the 2 years I have my '17 GS, the top has been off twice, and each of those times I had to pull over during the drive and put the top back on. I tried it twice in case the first time was a fluke. I got banged around with wind to such a degree that I felt abused. It was so not enjoyable.

I would like to ride in a car that has one before i got one for myself. I like the feel of the wind in my face when driving, but it gets old on long drives. How easy is it to remove? Does it clip in like the targa top?

I think you will like the limiting effect it has on the wind in the cabin.

It doesn’t totally eliminate the wind it just makes it more tolerable. You can remove it by loosening the screws that attach it to the mount but it’s really not designed to take in and out on a regular basis...it looks so good you won’t want to
