I had a C5 coupe before the vert, it's absolutely nothing like the halo and huge backglass. All the wind and noise of a convertible, 1/3 the view.

I also have a Wind Restrictor in my Vert. I love it and it helps keep me warm or cool with the top down. I can also talk in a normal voice volume instead of yelling. I love it and would do it again.

I just have a straw hat with an added locking chinstrap slider to fight the wind.

On the plus side, it was rather inexpensive down at the hardware store, where high fashion is king. it also keeps the sun shaded.

I think in the south it is called a go to hell hat. When you notice someone checking out how bad your head wear looks, or if they say something, You say, "go to hell" , simple.

Default Have a homemade one that I bought for $20

Mine sits behind the seats and was made from plywood and covered with a black material. It is velcroed to the sides of the car. Got it from someone who made it for their C5. Looks like it was made for the car as I have a black interior. With a little time and effort you can save mucho $

I find that if you're going to break wind, a convertible is the place to do it.
