  Improve Your Ride!

  Installs in minutes and improves the top down experience. Within just a few miles down the road after installing our new wind deflector we knew it was just what we wanted. No more back wind to blow your hair around and now we could carry on a conversation with out yelling. With the windows down it improved the ride by about 85 and with the windows up and traveling at 70 mph it's about 95 better. The radio is easy to hear and the air conditioning works at least 70 better. I love it, but with other reviews I've read I agree that the price is way to high! That being said I do like the result that it produces.

  surprisingly effective

  Part of me was hoping it didn't work b/c I would rather spend the money on something else more exciting for the car - but this thing works, and well. If you have a convertible this really is a good investment. I have it installed with the MMD style bar and it fits very snug and has the same curve so it doesn't stand out or look out of place. I still think it is double the price of what it should be... but it is honestly incredibly effective so in a way it is worth it. Before installing you could roll the windows up to get a pretty tame ride (still a good bit of turbulence) but after the install you can ride with the windows down on the highway and still carry on normal conversation or listen to music at a low volume. With the windows up it is very calm, you still get the feel of open convertible but without the back-draft, turbulent wind flapping your wife's hair all over the place. No need to keep a hat in the car or worry about messing your hair up on the way to work or when you in your Sunday best. It takes all of 5 minutes to install (the first time) and 10 seconds after that when you need to move it in or out. My only complaints are you cannot store it in the car if you get an extra passenger or two and need that back seat... you have plan ahead or leave it somewhere. Also you can't lock it in so if you park somewhere with the top down it could easily walk off to another mustang owner. My only other complaint is minor - it had a silver MMD logo on the bottom corner and it was not printed on the mesh squarely so the image looked stretched out (the logo kind of bled and turned when it was stamped) but i just colored over it with black sharpie and you can hardly see it so my OCD is okay with it.

  Wind deflector

  My wife and I are enjoying our convertible even more now. In the evening when the sun is down and the evening air is cooler, we just put up the windows and turn the heat on. We can now enjoy the starry night sky with out be cold. During the day if we are stuck in traffic we put the windows up and turn on the A/C, you can actually feel it cool the interior off. This product will extend our driving season by at least a month. We are glad we bought it from American Muscle. Thanks Sam

  Easy to Install, looks good and works

  I installed this in less than 5 minutes. It looks very sharp on my Mustang. It dramatically reduces the wind and noise will driving with the top down. It folds down easily and can be pulled up easily even while driving. Only issue is a very minor one in that it bounces a hair while driving (like a 1/4 inch or so) as you travel (due to wind). I've driven with it on at 80+ MPH while passing semi trucks and it's the same as at 40 MPH. So it's stable.

  good enough

  Its not hard to put in but the instruction weren't all that clear. Just hook the retaining straps under the plastic not the seat. No need to remove anything and you don't need any tools unless you want to loosen the screws and let the screen lean a little forward. Then you get optimal wind blockage but it just doesn't look as cool. The product is not quite as stable and tight as I would like it even if you tighten down the straps. But it is tight enough and the only one who is likely to notice the slight shimmy in the wind is you. I once worked with one of these on a BMW 325 and it folded in half twice for storage. This one only folds once but it fits nicely in its thick storage bag and it will fit in the trunk. I have a '14 gt

  A must on a convertible

  I only gave an average rating since it is brutally overpriced. However, I'm done with the constant draft of cold air hitting me behind the head. The AC and heat now works and my GF's hair isn't messed up anymore. It is way too expensive but it is a must on a convertible. I will never do without one now.

  Great product!

  I installed this in less than 10 min. Also installed the styling bar at the same time. ( Took 2.5 hours for that ) I've had my 09 convertible for 4 years now and should have bought this then. Down the road at 65 with no hat or bandana, and no hair blowing in my face! ( I have long hair ) Wife loves it too. And for a bonus, nothing blowing around in the back seat.

  Now, my wife loves having the top down.

  My wife always hated riding with the top down because the slipstream wind would ruin her hairdo and cause her hair to annoyingly whip around her face. Now, her attitude has changed 180 degrees since the wind deflector was installed: She prefers to ride everywhere with the top down (and windows up). Also, on the hot summer days with the top down, the cool air from the air conditioner vents is more protected from total dissipation from turbulent air, which adds to our comfort. The well-made deflector is pricey, but attaches nicely to the rear seat side panels and has an OEM look. Wish I had one six years ago. I removed the two 90-degree screw stops and canted the deflector forward, which gives it a better-looking profile.

  Convertible Wind Deflector

  Very pleased with the wind deflector. It did everything that it said it would. It fits under the roll bar very nicely and is pleasing to the eye. With the windows up it keeps a lot of the heat in the front seats and my wife's hair does not move a bit. Works great!!!!!!

  Fantastic!

  Outstanding! Been driving a convertible almost daily for the last 38 years and this is THE BEST accessory I've ever put on one. Could tell the difference immediately--at slow cruising speeds, but put up the windows and take it up to 80 or more and it's like heaven! Less noise, less wind, better heat/a/c and you still feel like you're driving a convertible. Yeah, it's expensive, but I wish I had bought one years ago! If you enjoy your convertible but your hair doesn't, you MUST buy this product!

  Good but...can collapse

  Excellent at stopping wind with the windows up. Issue I have is on a very windy day, 20+ mph wind or gusts I've had the screen collapse on me due to the way it is constructed.

  Excellent Product

  The wind deflector is great! Since it is a fairly pricey accessory, I fretted about pulling the trigger on this purchase for 3 months. It took all of 3 minutes driving the car to convince me that it was worth every penny.

  Must Have

  this is an absolute must have if you drive a convertable. This allows me to drive top down in cold weather, freeway, extreme hot weather. With windows up and screen in place it cuts road noise and air swirl by 90%. This was one product that delievers more than was expected.

  Worth It

  I too wondered if it was worth the price. It is. Cuts down on a lot of wind with the windows down. Wind is hardly noticeable with the windows up. No more complaints from the wife. No regrets!

  Wind Deflector

  I was also hessitant to spend this amount of money sight unseem/untested, but wanted my wife to enjoy our trips with the top down instead of constantly pulling her hair out of her face. IT WORKED! Not so much with windows down, but with windows up there isn't even a breeze.

  It works

  It definitely helps with my long hair blowing around my face.. but only four stars because it is too expensive for what it is. It also shakes a bit on the highway which worried me at first looking in my rear view mirror... but there's no way to stop it from shaking at high speeds.

  MMD Convertible Wind Deflector

  Great Product. Needs some more Engineering done on the straps. I pulled on the strap the 1st time I installed it and the cheap plastic buckle that came with it broke. I went to Home Depot, purchased a 1 inch strap with a cinch in it. Cut the strap off the Wind Deflector and the Hook from the straps that came with the product. Put a continious loop between the Wind Deflector and the hook with the Spring Cinch that came with the Home Depot Strap. Now it is easy to pull on the strap and it lockes during the pull. To Release just push on the release and the strap let's go. For the price of this product I do not know why they put a cheap strap on it. The strap is hard to use. I think some people would of given up and sent it back to you.

  Works amazing, excellent

  First thing I'll mention is that the price on this is rather steep. Don't think it needs to be this expensive. On the other hand it works great. Living in Canada, having the top down can be challenging with the temperatures we have. Had the Vert out with the top down this week(temp was +2C) and drove without the deflector on. There was a good amount of wind circling behind and into my back. Made it rather uncomfortable. Then installed the deflector and completely stopped the air from wrapping back into the front seats. Had it out on the highway and similar experience. Great product, but price needs to be reconsidered. They would sell a ton more by dropping it by 100 bucks
