Best windscreen for 05 Convertible?
I am in the market for a windscreen for my new car and I think I will be going with the one GM offers, it is GM Part # 19156012. It looks perfect and after a little shopping on line I can find the exact unit for much less than the GM website. My question is the info on the windscreen is very vague and does not explain how it is mounted to the car? Does anybody have this unit and if so do you like it?
Thank you!
Thank you!

I too am in the market for one of these, and have been researching for a while.
In the end, I have come to the conclusion that I will purchase the clear one that stays in place vs the GM removable one.
I don't want to have to stop and install/ remove it (albeit don't take long) before using my power top. Additionally, the GM on takes up trunk space, which my wife and I fully use on weekend trips.
I think functionally they work about the same.
Good luck and selecting which is best for you

Excellent point, I have looked at that one as well and am seriously considering it for the same reasons. My only concern is that in the photo it doesn't look like it may offer as much wind protection at both the driver and passengers head, it seems to block between the seats more?

However, I find I don't use mine very often. If I am doing a freeway trip and want to drive with the windows up (yuck) it does a good job. Otherwise it seems like there is always a side wide causing turbulence.
I wish I would have saved the $$$.
