Windrestrictor

[Major Dump]

Erm... I can't decide if I want to mount my WindRestrictor or get rid of it... It's not as temporary as the C6 one so as soon as I got it I got cold feet lol :ack:

I got it last year when they came out and took it out just long enough to see what it would sort of look like installed.

Your's lighted too? I kind of like its looks. I'd say go for it. Lighted or not. Seems to calm things quite well.
Any pics?

Unlighted. It's all wrapped up in the box still. The bastard is installed using 3M VHB tape, the same stuff they use to assemble AIRPLANES keep the siding on SKY SCRAPERS.

Cool -- VHB won't let that sucker come off.

If and when you get her on, post some pics......I'd like to see.Seems they work real well.

Second vote for pictures! We use VHB at work and it sticks like....well, you know. Keep us updated on what you decide!

It's a plexiglass panel that goes behind the seats to cut down on the wind blowing around when the roof is down. A friend of mine has a cheapo net one on his Z4 and it makes a pretty big difference.

Possibly because I'm watching the worst American Idol show ever and at the risk of Sounding like I'm on the "other" forum..... I'll just say I'm not a fan.

Hi, mine is an 02 convertible and I'm 6ft., always have my baseball cap on and with the top down never feel any excessive wind. My cap has never blown off (yet). In fact the wind I do feel is what is pleasant about the topless car.But then again (imo) i may be the odd one that likes the feel of the wind.

Like you Al, my brother is 6'3" and he has no issues with wind in his '06 rag.

I'm considerably shorter at 5'11" and must say I've not noticed anything excessive either. -- It's actually about as calm as mine with the roof removed.
