Default Bag for wind deflector?

I seem to recall a storage bag for the wind deflector, between the seats, that came with my 2013 Boxster. Did anyone get one with their 718 Spyder? Just checking before I tell dealer I never got one. Thanks

I can say that I did not receive that. But I am curious, under what conditions does one ever remove the wind deflector for storage anyways? I've owned 3 gens of the Boxster now and I've never felt the urge to remove the deflector on any of them. You have me thinking though... I do not like this 718 deflector it severely blurs your rearview vision. I wonder how much worse the turbulence is with it removed. Anyone try it?

Yes, the Porsche deflector limits visibility. I am buying a totally clear one from Pedros Garage. I had one on the 2013 Boxster and it was a major improvement. Unfortunately, they are out of stock now, and I was told to call back in about 6 weeks.

I read a post that said the turbulence without the deflector is unbearable.

On the Boxsters I've had that is the first thing I do - remove the wind deflector and store it in the garage.
Rear visibility is bad enough without making it worse.
