Default Wind Deflector for Cabrio

Anyone have a picture of the wind deflector for a S2 Cab? where does it attatch? Does it work well? I like driving with the top down but in the AM it can get a little chilly and in the hwy it bothers the wife a bit with the wind buffeting around alot.

They're pretty rare. I think its the same as the 968 version.

Are you driving with the windows up? This would minimize the buffeting. Tell the wife to roll the seat forward a bit and she should be more comfortable this way.

I think the deflector is great but am not willing to cancel my rear seats. I use them too often.

its easy fit remove, (1 minute) and stores easily in boot.

Essential for the cab, no pics at moment, well worth it
Get the Porsche one, same as 968

also you can keep it in place all the time and the part of it folds down for easy parking/reversing

BTW,
who ever uses the rear seats in a porsche?

Using Luis' method I have no problem with the wind. My back seats are actually used a lot more than I anticipated they ever would be.

What he said. Like when you pick a friend up with your girlfriend riding shotgun. She's smaller and sits fine in the back seat for a short ride. Better than putting her on my friends lap.

I find there's more buffeting with the windows up, less wind though so on the highway I keep the windows up. I plan to get the deflector soon.

I actually have a deflector that was installed either at the factory or by the dealer. It works great and folds out of the way if you don't need it. But the reason I am replying here is that I found that Chrysler made a deflector for the Sebring convertible that actually fits a 944 or 968 cab. As a matter of fact the fit is so perfect that I never used the mounting hardware to install it. just wedged it in with sponges and black vinyl sheets to hide the sponges. Worked perfect. Also folded out of the way. Was of at least equal quality as the Porsche item, looked almost identical and cost under $200 new at the dealership. I sold it to an S2 Cab owner friend of mine and its still in his car.
