This folding wind deflector is made for the 2016 BMW 650 Convertible. It sits behind the front seats and reduces the wind that reaches the front-seat passengers, with up to 70% less wind. In wind tunnel testing, it reduced buffeting and wind noise by 10 decibels.
The mesh is a nylon polymer designed to resist fading, tearing and the extreme heat found in cars. It has a dual-layer design (patent pending). The first layer gives rigidity against the wind while staying flexible enough that the seats can move 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 still use the rear-view mirror safely, day or night.
One person can install it in under 5 minutes using two straps. One strap attaches to the headrest pylon and the other to the passenger-side pylon. The height is adjusted by moving the headrest up or down, which keeps the windscreen level even if the seats are not at the same height. The frame collapses for storage. Remove the resistance rods to fold it into the included storage bag, or place the whole windscreen in the trunk.
