Wind Deflector behind rear seats?

Hi All,

I have just ordered my MCS convertible and am looking for a solution to reduce wind turbulence in the back-seat, where my 4 year old will be. The wind deflectors I have seen take the rear seats out so they won't work for me.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

RS

Congrats on your new convertible! We carry hats for everyone when we go top down. Just a suggestion...

Thanks. This looks intriguing. How effective is it for the rear seat? How muh does it cost?

We haven't gotten our convertible yet but he did complain about the wind during a test drive. That's why the question!

Does your four-year old really enjoy driving with the top down?

It appears to be for first generation cars only.

I found another solution which may work better - mrstitch.com in NorCal makes custom wind deflectors out of what they call high quality mesh material. A little pricey at $340 for just the rear seats but may be worthwhile. I'll look into it when we get our car.
