May I ask if you think it made a difference to wind in the cab, thanks. Hella expensive !! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img]

I will likely get opposition to my opinion, but I didn't see a startling difference when I installed the wind deflector. I don't want to sell mine but I also don't have it installed.

Likewise. I think it needs sort of a 'beard' to block the air coming out from between the seats, the air that enters by my left shoulder and then comes around the back of the seat. Either that air needs to be blocked or the exit between the seats needs to be.

With the windows up a bit it seems to help but overall it's not that impressive. I will probably try to mod it one day to see if I can mitigate that problem.

very odd - with the windows up, it's so calm that i can read a newspaper - it's night and day - i can also suddenly hear the stereo

windows down there isn't nearly as much of a difference

You have to have the windows up to see any difference. Actually, there is a difference (although it may be a sound difference) if you crank the windows up just above the height of the external mirrors.

It's made the difference between my wife being willing (not forced) to ride in the car with the top down. Particularly with the windows up, it changes the wind effect to a very mild (and tolerable) buffeting.

I agree with Flash. If you roll up the windows about 4 inches its a night and day difference. My wifes hair doesn't blow around at all at 60 mph. The higher you roll the windows, the calmer it gets.

I did a fabric thing that fits over the seat backs. Looks kindof cheesy but gets the job done for about $250. I posted elsewhere on it and you should be able to find that with the search feature.

The real question is - can we see more pictures of your interior Scottish and the pin striping/decaling. Your car looks quite unique.

Thanks
