This folding wind deflector is made for the 2018 BMW 230 Convertible. It sits behind the front seats and reduces the wind that reaches the driver and front passenger. The store states it cuts wind in the front seats by up to 70% and cuts buffeting and wind noise by 10 decibels in wind tunnel testing.
The screen uses a patent-pending dual-layer design. One layer gives rigidity against the wind while staying flexible, so the seats can still move back and forth without cracking or breakage. The second layer diffuses the wind into a breeze. The layers are thin enough to leave the rear-view mirror usable day and night. The mesh is durable nylon polymer, made to resist fading, tearing and the heat inside a car.
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 screen height and keeps it level even if the seats are uneven. The frame is collapsible. Remove the resistance rods to fold it into the included storage bag, or place the whole screen in the trunk.
