On an absolutely related note, if anyone is missing the rubber cap at the tip of the plastic that you poke into the hole, you can replace it with these:

These will fill in that notch and add a rubber layer so the windscreen won't rattle around. Also, these won't fall off

should get it anyways. the wind deflector cuts down on pretty much 90% of the wind and noise, so your climate control, music, and bluetooth will work again. really extends the convertible season

if if I could use deflector with 4 people it would make sense

After seeing this I thought it might be cool to have a windscreen. I checked Craigslist for Atlanta area. Found one for $200 bucks. Made an offer for $175.00 and got it today. I have to get the two barrel plugs which I ordered tonight and I will be ready to go.
Think I did good considering what these go for new

nobody could fit in the back of mine. I didn’t think you could leave it in with top up. Guess you just drop the screen down? We are waiting on the kit aka barrel plugs to come in to install it

If I'm able to buy the wind screen in SD, I'll have to buy these but all the way from Hong Kong....May 22. Will try home depot or Lowes. Thanks for the suggestion
