cheap windscreen / windblocker for cabrios - ebay - any good?

[yoni]

I've been thinking about getting a windscreen for my cabrio,
checked at the dealer...really expensive..
on e-bay, there is a guy selling them for a 'buy it now' of $375..which is fairly expensive, too...
a new seller just popped up with CHEAP ones, check

i think i am going to bite the bullet and get one to try out, and let you guys know.....can't really go wrong for under a hundred bucks.

Screw it, I'll guinee pig. Purchasing now.

Haha, I'm going to buy one tonight, or tomorrow...
Hopefully these will be decent, they are cheap as f... but hopefully they hold up.. We'll know soon enough.

If it is anything like the stock one, you'll love it. I can drive 80mph with the top down and my wife doesn't bitch about her hair blowing around. I'd ask them for fitment pics before I bought it, though.

bump for results

Just got it,

Shitty installation, feels kinda ghetto.... and on first impression, I'm not that happy...

I'm going to go for a cruise to see if it actually WORKS...
It looks alright installed, not as good as a stock one, though..

If it makes it possible to smoke with the top down without the joint running, we're in business.

I'll let you all know

Pics man!!

I'll get pics up soon

I withdraw my previous post... the shit is actually pretty good for the price (~$100 shipped).

It doesn't look quite as good as oem imo but it does the trick,

it looked weird for a second but it grew on me already.

cuts the shit out of the wind... with windows up, it's like you're running a sunroof.

i haven't hit the highway yet, i will tomorrow morning on my way to work.
- shouldn't mess my coiffe.

overall, 8 / 10 maybe.. for the price, it's worth it.

Very cool. I was going to tell you to make sure you put all your windows up, but by then you were out driving it. :D

Mine came, materials and worksmanship looks good, not too sure on how strong the mounting will be. My car is about 5 minutes of work away from having no engine in it once I get my hoist back so I haven't tested it. I am however buying a 318ic tomorrow night, and that sucka will get whipped with the top down and the windblokker as soon as I take delivery of it.

[yoni]

surprisingly, it doesn't budge once it's installed right...

top down on the highway, and you just feel a nice breeze at the top of your head.. lol

it really cuts wind out, and works really good.

any 'vert owner that though about getting a windscreen and then turned away when discovering that they cost ~$200 + , should now reconsider.

$100 shipped, slightly inferior product, but it is a fraction of the price, and it does do the trick... quite well.

i'll get some photos up soon so you guys can judge
