What wind deflector / windscreen should I buy?

[salsolomon13]

I also have the Audi one. Easy to install and the fact that it folds to easily fit in the trunk (or closet at home) is a big plus.

How are y'all attaching the Audi wind blocker ?

You will need to drill two small holes in the interior trim panels, but it is worth it IMHO. The Audi option is far better than the LTD.

I only drilled the two holes. I used a piece of pipe insulation in the middle of the back to keep the deflector from chafing the seats, but air pressure is enough to keep it in place at any speed.

Just did the Audi A4 route. $180 shipped with case and is like new.

We like our Love The Drive windscreen. Not too expensive (around $450 as I recall) and gets the job done. And it WILL fit in the trunk even with the factory Pro-Shaker sub-woofer (though you do have to unscrew and fold in the mounting ears on the front edge). It can also stay up and the top will still go up and down - no need to fold it down to put the top up. And I must say - any windscreen really extends your top-down season in cold country. I’d say a month on either end. They work.

I’m hard core. The coldest I’ve driven top down is 3C, at highway speeds, quite comfortably with the LTD screen. My goal is to drive at least once or twice every month of the year. So far 2021 is holding up.

I am getting a lightbar. Do you think it will work?

Horizontally you should be okay, it would be the vertical dimension that might be a problem, and the shape of the light bar.

We bought this one from Germany, it was 60% less than the cost of the Ford one in Australia and it’s brilliant.

I also just installed the German unit in 2015. Does require 2 small hole in the trim panel. I think it was 266 us dollars shipped and arrived in less than 10 days.
Very happy with how effective it is.

I bought the one from windrestrictor
https://windrestrictor.com/windrest...cker-graphics-lighting-accessories-logos.html
Installs easily, blocks 90% or so of wind so it does its job very well. What i dont like is both seats have to sit same or the blocker is crooked, also if i lean seat forward to allow kid in back i hear stress on the plexiglass assuming one day it will crack. Say your passenger is 6 foot and you 5 foot so when he moves seat back the glass also moves with his seat. I woukld love if it could mount to a light bar instead but then you are another $420 or so invested. It does make it nice to hit the road at high speeds and not get windblown even with the dislikes i have.

Anyone know of a how to or anything on mounting a wind restrictor to light bar?
I looked at pics of light bar with the restrictor and it looks stupid sitting 4 inches in front of the light bar. Someone should make a light bar with built in windblocker.

Love the drive makes a short version that fits directly under the bar. I have their tall version.
