Hey, is there an inexpensive wind blocker for my 2017 coupe? Or can I build my own. Do they really work??

Someone makes a clear plastic version, but I don't know how well it works or who makes it.

Check out the "WindRestrictor" for the C7 Coupe on their website at: www.windrestrictor.com. I purchased my cockpit deflector from them and have been very pleased. I'm guessing that it has reduced the wind buffeting with the windows down at highway speeds (60 - 70 mph) by around 40 to 50%. The product is made of polycarbonate and is pretty easy to install; they have an installation video on their web site. They also have a before and after comparison video as well. It is available customized with your choice of lighted logos if you prefer. I ordered mine just plain and clear with no decoration. I paid $251.00 plus shipping for mine. The quality is excellent, it is well engineered and American made in Dallas, Texas. I am very pleased with the product. Check it out.

I like mine. It really helps cut down the turbulence when I remove my roof.
