2024 C7 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Default Coupe Wind Screen

Yesterday while on a ride topless I pushed both of my visors up past their normal top resting point a little above the windshield. It was really nice, deflecting more of the wind. I prefer to have the windows down when the top is out but wish for a little less noise and wind (although better than the c6) Today I was looking around and saw this for the c8. I cannot find anything at all on the market for the c7 aside from the clear ones that go behind you that I am not convinced help much. Anyone seen anything I'm like this for the C7?

I have yet to find anything like this and the owner said although he has thought about making 1 for the c7 it is not in the works at this time. Hard to judge interest but I certainly would try it and bring it here to the forum to help him sell some if he made one. I love how it uses the factory roof latch and I think it looks really good.

How complicated is it to install/remove the C8 version?

Would it be possible to change the sun visor mounting like OP mentioned in Post #1, and get similar results with less hassle?

I had something very similar to what is being shown for my C6. Can’t say that it worked very well. But mine was a little thinner than the one depicted, so who knows about this one? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Always thought a wider strip might be more effective.

I wonder how many people would be interested if he made one like in my OP for the C7? I think its a great design and based on what I felt with the visors pushed up it would certainly make a difference.

I've seen those deflectors on other cars. Besides the hassle to install and remove, the ones I saw were uglier than sin.

For the last 25 years our solution to the topless wind buffeting is to use earplugs! For us, the big annoyance is the noise and not the wind. We keep two pairs of cheap earplugs and a tube of SPF50 in the car.

To each their own. Wearing ear plugs certainly doesn't appeal to me as an improved driving environment, as well as not really being all that safe in my opinion. I enjoy talking to my wife and listening to some music in a drive not finding a way to isolate us even more.
