2006 C6 Coupe wind restrictor or deflector
I am a first time corvette owner. Traded in my leiderhosen for a pair of good old pair of American jeans. I bought a C6 Coupe with a Z51 package in late August. I had the top off and I could not believe how much turbulence and noise there was in the cabin. Having owned convertibles all my life, I have to say this targa roof was the worst.
I see some older threads on windrestrictor and wind deflectors. Has anyone found anything that works well for the c6 Coupe?
Thanks ahead for your help and responses.

A partition divider works pretty well. You can buy them or make one yourself. Do a search.
Enjoy your new C6.

At highway speeds, there may not be much that will completely illiminate the turbulence. I have a Partition, and it did help a bit by stopping the wind from coming back to the cabin so quickly.
Some people have used the hatch ventmaster, which keeps the hatch open a bit to allow the air to pass through.
There was at one time threads on the deflector that you speak of. I've never tried one, so I can't say for sure how good it is at stopping the turbulance.
Here is one of those
