What is a wind deflector?
A convertible wind deflector is a windscreen that is attached behind the driver’s seat to prevent turbulence while you are driving with the top down. When a wind deflector is attached to a convertible, more of the wind is diverted over the back of the vehicle, instead of blowing through the cabin. The wind deflector improves comfort for drivers and passengers by providing them with effective protection from draughts, even while travelling at high speeds.

How does a draft-stop work?
When you drive a convertible with the top down, a low pressure area forms inside the cockpit, while high air pressure remains outside. This air pressure difference then equalizes, causing hair to blow forward (not backward) whenever the top down is down while driving. A convertible windscreen reduces air draught and turbulence in the passenger compartment. This way it retains heat inside the cockpit and improves driving comfort. The opening and closing of the hood is not effect by the wind deflector. With a wind deflector you can lengthen your season!

All our wind deflectors are a specially developed for a specific model and type of car. This way a perfect fit is insured.
