Since "our" season is on it's way here I'm thinking of buying a wind deflector for my black cab. Besides looking kinda cool, do they really make a difference in terms of wind noise, conversation etc? I'd really like everyone's opinion on this. Thanks! P.S. pictures are encouraged!

 

How can I put this so you believe me......the windscreen IS a must !

I have mine in and with the top down windows up 4 inches,the wifes long hair barely moves and the you carry on a conversation as if the top is up....no kidding!

it's a remarkable difference. My dad had a 996 cab and I spent a lot of time with and without the windscreen - it's night and day.

 

I drive the car without the windscreen -- but my wife prefers it. She says it makes a noticeable difference for her.

 

I don't have one yet for this car (bought in December), but it was a huge difference having one in my M3. You can have a conversation with your copilot on the highway without yelling.

 

I noticed theres less air moving about the cabin but havent really noticed much of the difference in noise.

 

It doesn't make much of a difference with the windows down but it makes a big difference with the windows up. My wife is a big fan of the windscreen.

 

I rarely install it. I prefer the additional swirl and the look of the car w/o it. But it is incredibly useful if peace with the top down is what you seek. It works remarkably well. A must-have for most.
That said, this will be the first 'winter' that I've not removed it from the front trunk.

 

Please let us know where you pick one up if you do and the cost. I may grab one as well before Spring arrives.

 

Luv the swirl!

 

Actually, if it's really hot I will sometimes just fold the windscreen down. At least in my other car, I could easily reach back with my right arm and raise or lower it while driving.

 

They're not terribly expensive, Local Porsche dealer sells them for about $280.00. Well, on second thought I guess it's all relative. After all it's not much more than a couple of wires, a hinge and some mesh!

 

The key is your WIFES hair, Stacy! Im sure yours doesnt move at all with the windscreen OUT! LOL

We havent used it at all and it's still sitting in the trunk.
