Default WindRestrictor

Hello. I’m wondering if anyone with a C7 Coupe has any experience with the WindRestrictor for coupe, how effective it is and how easy it is to install/remove. I’ve searched the Forum and find a lot of information about the vert but not much about the coupe. There are a lot of reviews from the company but I”d appreciate reviews from owners that have used it. The pulsating wind noise at speeds greater than about 60-65 with the Targa off borders on intolerable, and I like having the Targa off. I would buy it if it helps but it’s a serious amount of coin to drop for something that is only marginally effective.
Thanks Forum!

There isn't one that I have ever seen nor would I think it would do anything considering the aero of the car and the design of the roof.

Default Major Difference

Hello,
I just put a Windrestrictor in my C7 coupe and we love it.
I made a video that shows the complete install on my YouTube Channel it is called The Corvette Channel so go take a look. It cuts down about 50-60% of the wind turbulance.
I also have a discount link in the video and a discount code you have to give them when ordering that will save you 10%
Hope that helps!

How about a road trip at 70-80 MPH to show the noise and turbulance reduction.
