Good idea, poor execution:

why fuss with installing a windblocker when you can just drill a hole in the windshield, or route a complicated air passage to the front of the vehicle?
I imagine you could do the same with a small opening at the base of the windsheild.. it is already a high pressure area and your HVAC sucks most of it's air from there. Just need a bigger opening under the cowl that leads directly to the dash
When I first met my wife, she had a 1981 Rabbit Convertable (pre cabriole name plate) and we just put the side windows up about 1/3 of the way and everything was fine.
Oh, I get! No device, girl frown because wind. Press button, girl smile! Me buy now!
Seriously, does that even count as marketing these days? I've heard 1930s blues songs that seem like more realistic recipes to get into a girl's pants.
this must have been developed by the multiple middle-aged ladies in this area who drive around their 3-series convertibles with the top down and front and rear windows UP.......lame.
I did that in the winter with my fiat. As long as the windows were up, the heat could keep up with the cold.
In the Miata the trick is to just put the pass. window up - I used to run all winter top down that way, in Buffalo no less!
The real trick here is just to keep a kerchief in the glovebox of your convertable. When girls complain about their hair getting messed up by the wind, just open the glovebox up and gesture to the kerchief. Problem solved.

Even easier, kick girl to curb, motoring in a convertible is about the wind, girls are a dime a dozen, and by a dime a dozen I mean $100/night...

Those types of "girlfriends" usually don't have to worry about wind buffeting, they tend to keep their head pretty low....
By show of hands...er clicks...who else here enjoys the wind buffeting? To me, that's part of the fun of driving convertible with the top down.

Me. Dammit, that's half the fun. Any woman who won't ride in the 'vert over wind buffeting won't ride me, either.
Another idea created by a guy who can't get any and thinks some magic gizmo is going to fix the problem.
It's not the wind blowing in her hair that she doesn't like man, she just doesn't like you. She wouldn't say a thing about her hair if all she had on her mind was how much she likes you. Have you ever heard the joke about porcupines and bimmers?

+1 an expensive convertible sports car is a golden ticket to sex on a silver platter, if she's complaining about the wind you're really DOING IT WRONG.
