Wind reduction on a T-top
Hello, is there a wind reduction devise that fits on the top of the windsheild of a C7 coupe? I had one on my C3 and it worked pretty good. As we all know, with the T top off the inside of the C7 is like a wind scoop. Yes, I am aware of the devise that is attached behind the seats. Thanks.

The C7 does not have a T Top. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-top:
The 1968 Chevrolet Corvette coupe was the first U.S.-built production automobile to feature a T-top roof.[3] This increased the popularity of the coupe, such that it outsold the convertible and later led to the discontinuation of the Corvette convertible after 1975 until it was revived in 1986.[citation needed] Post-C3 models were built with a targa top instead of a T-top.

He might have meant that short for Targa Top.
OP - I haven't seen anything like this. I'd be concerned about how it would look.

Semantics aside, has anyone seen what he's asking about? I saw them for the C5 years ago when I first got mine. I would guess they were just called "wind deflectors" or something similar if the op wanted to do a google search. In any event, all the best.

I’ve never experience any annoying wind turbulence in the cabin with the targa top off. I was actual surprised of how quiet and comfortable the car is with the top off. Perhaps it’s the position of your seat... Nonetheless, I’ve never seen any front wind deflectors for the C7, just the rear wind screens for verts.

I find it fine until you hit 60 mph.

For the C3 the device is called a Windjammer. It raises the windshield line by about four inches. Still have one even through the 73's are long gone. Thought one day I could get a 1970 and have been keeping for then.
