Alternative to OEM baffle/windscreen

I'm talking about the one that goes behind the front seats to reduce buffetting and keep my neck toasty warm when I'm driving around with the top down in 45 degree F weather. The OEM one is stupid expensive. Does anyone know of any alternatives or knockoffs? $350 for that thing is just stupid.

Maybe find some used ones, they pop up from time to time in the classified and an OEM Gen 1 will fit a gen 2 and vice versa:
