Basically it works well but, not as well as the Love The Drive model for one reason - the deck mesh on LTD blocks air that flows between the driver and passenger seats better. My head stays out of the wind but, there is definitely blow by under and between the seats. I owned a LTD on a prior Mustang it was great except that since I tended to leave the top down all the time after a year on, the mesh turned white and began to disintegrate. I contacted LTD and they sent a replacement for free but, even that started to wear after a year and I traded the car in. I have no problem with this unit except for minor scratches on the acrylic. For me, Wind Restrictor was the better choice.

thanks for your input!.. I may have to purchase one of each to test as I really dislike the draft of air that comes between the seats. I can understand how the LTD works better as it covers the back seat area and blocks off all wind. I just don't like the way it mounts and the fact that you cannot have anyone in the back seats when using it. I have also heard that the straps and clips tend to wear on the plastic surrounding the seats. I guess i would have to just try one. I received my wind restrictor a couple of weeks ago and was going to install it Tues evening, but found out they had shipped the wrong mounting screws so waiting for that to come in...

Yes, having access to the rear seats is a plus. Also you can lean both fronts seats forward and rear passengers can get in and out. Because it make the air flow up, so does the hair on anyone sitting there - kind of funny to watch! I was working on a pull down screen to fix the problem but SoCal is pretty mild in the winters. Lowest it gets in San Diego is still above freezing and that is only early morning. By afternoon it is usually in the 60's during the winter months. I did not have issues with the mounting straps on my LTD but, I do like having a clear deflector.

Nope, those are the black accent package wheels. I did put some Michelin rubber on to replace the craptastic Pirelli tires.

Love the warm weather and not having to put the top up.

Since it's mounted on the seats, how does it behave if the seats aren't even? What about if you have the "easy entrance" enabled?

How are you liking the Michelin's is it the Pilot Sport 4s? Noticeable difference (ride quality/performance/noise) on the convertible?

I have not installed mine, but from what the company told me the seats can be uneven and the unit will just rotate and flex..

I got AS3+ tires. They have been great so far. Good grip and smoother ride. I am still dealing with front end vibration and changed tires early to see if the old tires were the problem. They were not the problem.

Those look like the blacked out version of the wheels that came on mine with the 50th Anniversary Appearance Pack.

Yep. Just paint them black and make 'em another package.

Hey Wesley.. I experienced that for the first time in my convertible. It was a bonus that I just had my Corsa exhaust installed. It's an experience for sure!!
