Re: Wind Screen - Third Gen Convertible

Yours has different brackets than the one vinny R installed and from what is on the Love the Drive website, did you get a different one, or did you make the mods?

Re: Wind Screen - Third Gen Convertible

Garfilds looks like it is a different model (for a different vehicle) than the one that the others in the thread have purchased. I like how he has mounted it.
I finally got mine on. It really works well. If anyone is "on the fence" I say go ahead. The wind is cut down significantly.

Re: Wind Screen - Third Gen Convertible

I got the one for the 4th gen Camaro from enjoythedrive.
If Garfild let's us know which one he got (which manufacturer as it doesn't look like the one from enjoythedrive), I'd like to try his method.

Hello everyone. The windshield I installed is from the 4th generation Camaro. Nothing has been redone, everything fits. It was only necessary to drill two holes for mounting.

Re: Wind Screen - Third Gen Convertible

Garfilds, That is a nice difference in the mount, thanks for posting the link. Options are always good.

Just to reiterate I purchased 2 of the 4th gen variant from Love The Drive and have one on my 2002 Camaro and the other on my '89 GTA. As jimmylev said above, don't hesitate to purchase... these reduce the wind. Significantly in my opinion as well. Just did a 4 day 500 mile mountain trip here in Virginia with my 2002. Cruising at 35-45 on Blue Ridge Parkway is great with this. But... we can also drive to the mountains on the Interstate with the top down and still talk. And if we leave the top down and roll the windows up its like heaven in the cockpit! Interior is quiet and you still a nice breeze. And if you have the top down, windows down and there isn't enough breeze, just reach back and fold the screen down. Options!!

Also great as fall and winter bring cool temps. -Gerry

Re: Wind Screen - Third Gen Convertible

I had one on a 4th Gen Camaro I used to have, along with another convertible. They are really nice to have as it does cut down on some of the wind and makes it easier to talk if you have a passenger. Plus, when it cooled down some, I could still keep the top down, have the screen and windows up, and turn on the heat and was still comfy.

"have the screen and windows up, and turn on the heat and was still comfy."

You know I tried this here in SoFlo but with the A/C instead of heat on and it does not work that well. I think because the cool air comes out of the top vents it gets sucked up and out too quickly before it has time to "fall" into the cabin. I feel a little cool air when the car comes to a stop.

Re: Wind Screen - Third Gen Convertible

In cold weather, the wind guard helps a lot. This spring I was driving on the highway with the roof down. The temperature was around 10C - 50F It was very comfortable with the heating on.
