Thumbs up Wind Baffle

I know the purest among us will have some heartburn - but I just put a wind baffle on our bird - took it out for a test run ( only got to 50 - it started to rain and the bird flew to the garage) it worked as advertised - my better half will no longer accuse me of trashing her hair. easy to put on and more importantly to take off when "hair trashing"is not an issue. It is almost invisible and absolutely no impact on visibility. tommorrow - to the interstate to give it a real test.

Can you take a picture of the baffle and let us know more after the next "dry" run. Sounds like a great idea.

I have a lot of heartburn with this one -- I cannot imagine a baffle on my T-bird. However, in the spirit of open-mindedness, I too would like to see pics and additional feedback. Looking forward to the "before/after" results of your speed test!

As I said in another post, I put one on my Mustang convert and it works great! Love to see what it looks like on the T-Bird. Does it use the velcro straps on the headrest like the Mustang's??

Too much win, or hot air is a bad thing, especially on a TBird forum.

Velcro straps just like your mustang - as I said - just about invisible - I'll try to get some pictures out but being a computer illiterate and technology challenged, I may have to ask my 5 year old grandson to do it!!!!
Now out to the interstate for the real test!!

Cool

Got it from www.windbaffle.com - incidently the customer service was outstanding - even has a 30 day return option if you don't think it is for you.
had it out on the interstate today - up to 70 mph - got some wind effect - but my better half was happy with it's performance - so that makes me happy too.

Navigator, Can the wind baffle be stored in the trunk ok. Does it come with a storage sleave or pouch? How long does it take to install and take off. Sorry for all the questions, but it looks like it might work quite well if it stowes ok and we can keep from scratching while in storage.

02birdman - it takes about 30 seconds to install and/or take off - nothing more than 2 velcro straps around the head restraints.
There was no pouch with it - the info suggest that you keep the bubble wrap to store it in - since evidently it will scratch if mishandled. My better half has taken on the project of designing and making a storage pouch (she doesn't think it will be difficult). It will fit in the trunk - it is exactly the distance between the outside edges of the head restraints. However I don't think I will keep it in the trunk -
hope this helps.
