Default ecklers coupe windjammer

Anyone out there have any experience with this product?

CORVETTE WINDJAMMER, BRONZE, COUPE, 2005-2012
OK, Can't post a copy of the picture on here. But it's ecklerscorvette.com part number 56139, and it's a piece of clear smoked plastic that goes on the top of the coupe's windshield to allegedly block 75% of the top-off wind noise.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

I often wondered if Ecklers would make one of those for the C6. They had one for the C5 coupe.
The C5 section may be a good place to ask the question, as I'm sure lot's of them were used on the coupes if they decided to make one for the C6.
Anything that will keep the wind buffeting down in the coupe would be a plus
Keep us posted on what you find

I found a pic for those that want to see what it looks like

I bought one for my C4 several years ago. Broke about the third time I put it on; sent it back for refund.

Did you see any improvement while it was on prior to your returning the product?

No response on the C5 forum.

I have one. I had it painted Lemans Blue & put the same corvette flag that's on front on the windjammer.
It does help. I'm not overly crazy about the way it connects, but it does hold. I keep a T-handle Allen wrench in car. I'm going to modify mine to fit into the same holes as the targa top, but haven't got around to it.

Yes. It helped. I used the hatch vent also. They work, but the hatch vent turned out to be a POS also. One day, in use, it just popped in half while I was driving. My wife asked, "Why is the back window open?"
