This folding wind deflector is made for the 2016 BMW 228 Convertible. It sits behind the front seats and reduces the wind that reaches the driver and front passenger. It cuts wind in the front seats by up to 70% and helps keep hair from blowing into your eyes. In wind tunnel testing, buffeting and wind noise dropped by 10 decibels.
The mesh is a durable nylon polymer made to resist fading, tearing and the extreme heat found in cars. A patent-pending dual-layer design uses a first layer for rigidity and flexibility, so you can still move the seats back and forth without cracking or breakage. The second layer diffuses the wind into a breeze. The layers are thin enough that the driver can use the rear-view mirror day or night.
One person can install it in under 5 minutes with two straps. One strap attaches to the headrest pylon and the other to the passenger-side pylon. Moving the headrest up or down adjusts the height, which keeps the screen level even if the seats are uneven. The frame is collapsible. You can remove the resistance rods and fold it into the included storage pouch, or put the whole windscreen in the trunk.
