This folding wind deflector is made for the 2019 BMW 230 Convertible. It sits behind the front seats and reduces the wind that reaches the driver and front passenger when the top is down. It reduces 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 (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 day or night. The mesh is a durable nylon polymer made to resist fading, tearing and extreme heat in cars.
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. Moving the headrest up or down adjusts the height, which keeps the screen level even if the seats are uneven. The frame collapses when the resistance rods are removed, so the screen fits in the included storage bag. The whole windscreen can also go into the trunk as is.
