Is the windscreen for the c6 convertible worth the money? I love driving with the top down and even at 70 mph, the wind is not really that bad. Does the wind screen make that big of a difference?

IDSRVIT

I never got one.

To your point, the wind isn't that bad and if I wanted a car with a wind screen I would have boughten the coupe.

I think they are worth having on a long trip but they can be kind of a PITA. It is especially worth it if you have a passenger you want to talk to over a long trip. Can you do this without one, sure, but it is a bit quieter with one.

More stuff, don't need it! Oh never had one, had 5 verts.

100%. I don't like the feeling of having the windscreen behind me. Car feels much more open without it...the way a Vert should. And I have never had a problem with the amount of turbulence in the car at speed. The SL Benz has much more turbulence on the highway...probably because the windshield is more vertical.

IMO - NO!

A windscreen is ridiculous and looks silly. I laugh every time I see one




I love the wind. I love the convertible!

Never had one, and dont need it either

open air car needs to be......open air

If I want to have a relatively quiet interior, I just put the windows up. I have used windscreens on other verts I've owned, but never felt I needed one with the Vette.

Shadanigans

Ok then, im not crazy.......no matter what my friends say.......no screen for me.

thanks for all of your advice!

I have never had one, but I have thought about it a time or two. The issue I run in to is with my wife's hair. She gets crabby working on her bouffant for several hours (so it seems), and then getting her art work destroyed by the wind.

No wind screens for me. I just put my ball cap on backwards crank up the tunes and I'm good to go.

Got to be a contrarian in every crowd. I have one and I use it - it works.

Same here. Had one on my C5 and have one for the C6. Wife really appreciates it.

Cool Rod

I have one for my 08.

I hardly ever use it, truth to tell.

It's actually more useful around town, at lower speeds, than on the highway. 70, 80, 90 MPH nothing's going to help. It would be like an umbrella in a hurricane.

At slower speeds it helps keep the wind out and it doesn't look dorky like driving around with your top down and your windows up. (OMG, did I just say that out loud? )

The appearance of the GM version is a bit of a plus, because it has the word CORVETTE silk screened on the rear facing side and the frame is more stout. It looks good when your car is parked and people are looking at it.

The more expensive GM version is the pick of the litter because it's mounting brackets have a kill switch wired into the roof actuating circuitry that keeps you from accidentally raising the top with the windscreen in place. The roof won't clear it.

DonBoy

Yes it does work for keeping the wife happy and does seem to help with the cabin noise. Downside is removing before raising the top.

Eritosthenes

As much as they might cut down on wind noise at speed, they'd be a major PITA when it comes to raising the power top. Before you can do that you have to stop the car, get out, pull the screen free of its mounts, toss it in the trunk, and get back in the car to raise the top. EVERY TIME.

I have one and it is worth the money. My wife complains that the wind hurts her ears. No problem with the screen.

johnodrake

I don't have that problem - my top is manual

Seems like the wives are the ones with the problems requiring a windscreen. Since I don't have a wife, I feel confident I'll be okay continuing without one; a wife and a windscreen. Be well.
