This folding wind deflector is made for the 2016 Volkswagen EOS Convertible. It sits behind the front seats and reduces the wind that reaches the driver and front passenger when the top is down. It cuts wind in the front seats by up to 70%. In wind tunnel testing, it reduced buffeting and wind noise by 10 decibels.
The screen uses a dual-layer design, which is patent pending. The first layer gives rigidity against the wind and stays flexible enough that the seats can still slide back and forth without cracking or breakage. The second layer diffuses the wind into a breeze. The two layers are thin enough that the driver can still use the rear-view mirror day or night.
The mesh is a durable nylon polymer made to resist fading, tearing and the extreme heat inside cars. 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 and keeps the screen level, even if the seats are uneven.
