Can I use the boot cover with this windblocker?
No, they do not. The winglets are attached with a specialty tension hinge that can be adjusted with a simple Philips screw driver over the full range from very loose to absolutely stiff. The hinges are adjusted to be stiff enough to block wind buffeting when deployed, and soft enough to be folded inwards when putting the top up.
A windblocker prevents turbulence in the cockpit. When driving with the top down, a low pressure area is created inside the cockpit, with a high pressure area outside the car. The wind tries to equalize, moving wind from the rear of the car to the front. That's why you always see passenger's hair blowing forward, not backward, when driving with the top down.
How does the windblocker stay in place?
With four points of strappings. These very securely hold the windblocker in place. The advantage of this system is there is no abbrasion from long term wear and no rattling about from noise induced vibrations.
Is there any drilling or gluing?
No, there's not. No modifications are required, so you car stays as beautify as it is. Nothing mars it.
What is your windblocker made of?
My windblocker is made of 1/4 inch abrasion resistant Lexan. This material is virtually indestructible. Also, the 1/4 inch thickness is very rigid, so there is no wobbling, oscillations, or vibrating.
Is there glare on the windblocker?
No, there is not. The windblocker is also available in tinted colors as well.
Where can I store the windblocker when not in use?
In the trunk. We recommend purchasing a satchel to prevent your windblocker from getting beat up when stored outside the cockpit.
What should I clean the windblocker with?
Use plastic cleaners, such as Meguire's #17 and #18, or soap and water. Do not use window cleaners or ammonia based cleaners.
How long does it take to install?
About 60 seconds. Out twelve year old niece installs one in about 75 seconds now.
How fast can I drive with your windblocker in place?
As fast as your car can go!
Can I use the boot cover with this windblocker?
Yes, you can.
