Ordered it online, significantly cheaper than jag brand. Arrived in 5 days. Install took 5 minutes. Matches interior tan color on my XK 2011 perfectly. Could not be happier!

 

Excellent, what if any are the differences to the one from Jag?

 

I've been looking for one of those where did you find it?
Does it make a difference in the amount of wind hitting you?

 

Well - 1) It is significantly cheaper (the Jag version was double the cost and required an hour of installation by the dealer). 2) Jag didn't offer the tan color, the black would have looked awful. The only down side is the Jag version allows the back that lays flat blocking access to the back seat to flip up. Honestly, I try not to get into the habit of lifting stuff over the side of the car to put it back there anyway so it wasn't a big deal. I took it in and out this weekend and it took a minute max. It's on springs with round "deals"..a texas term...that fit into the 2 holes that are behind the headrests (1 on each side) and these 2 5" long pencil thick small rods that just slide into the seat belt slots. From a wind standpoint - there is NONE! I have an old classic Mercedes that had the wind screen (much harder to put in and out) and I could at least get to work with the top down and not look like Medusa. The Jag was awful. With this small screen up it was amazing. I could talk on the speaker phone easily with no wind noise. I'm still too new to be allowed to post a picture here of it but it works and looks great!

 

Sounds great, is it sturdy?

 

Adamesh is the brand. It's very sturdy and solid.

 

Great thanks

Wooo hoooo - figured out how to put a picture up. LOL
I love this wind screen. In some ways, it is better than the mercedes version I had with my SL600. Here are a couple pictures.

 

This topic - Adamesh wind screen - has been extensively discussed with lots of pictures. See these old posts:

p.s. I'm very pleased with mine, and it has held up very well.

 

Beach, I have one and love it also.

PS don't worry about the know-it-alls telling you what you should post

 

Thanks for saying that. Thought it was a bit harsh.
Wasn't planning on participating much after getting the note.

 

Jimi and Beach - what are you talking about? That I'm a know-it-all and that my post was harsh? Where did you read that? I didn't tell anyone what they should post. Both of you failed to understand the point of my post.

I noticed that this thread was started by a newbie (Beach, March 2012) and I was simply trying to help by pointing out that the Advanced Search function is a useful tool. You can learn a lot on this forum and very often don't need to reinvent the wheel.

Lighten up! And enjoy the ride...

 

Well you did suggest that they were beating a dead horse.

Maybe that wasn't really what you wanted to express?

Anyway the screen looks good and TBN is obviously happy with his so no harm in letting us all know.

 

Well, I finally bit the bullet and ordered the Adamesh wind screen. I'm still shocked that the dealer part and install is so expensive.

Looking forward to seeing the quality and effectiveness of this accessory.

I purchased the "Jag version" because I wanted the brushed aluminum finish on the frame. It was purchased from Nalley Jaguar for $556.75 and installed the backet kit myself. Functionally it is the same as offered in the aftermarket version by Adamesh. The Jag version for MY2007+ does not "allow the back that lays flat blocking access to the back seat to flip up". IMO if you don't want the brushed aluminum finish go with the Adamesh and save yourself a few Benjamins. I can post pics if anyone is really interested.

 

Just got my Adamesh windscreen yesterday. It's raining today in Seattle (don't say it!!) so I'll probably test it out this weekend. Looks good - hope it performs as well as it looks.

 

You and Rahtok should plan a drive together. He's out your way. Just remember to bring your brollies and wellies...

 

I keep forgetting to post but I wanted to concur that the Adamesh wind screen is an incredible bargain AND it works flawlessly!!! I paid just a little over $300 (US) with free shipping from the UK and it arrived very quickly - less than a week from when I ordered it.

It works so well in fact that my husband was almost too warm when we put the windows up with the wind screen installed.

The sun was out the first day I used it and it was only 58 degrees but even without a jacket in the car - I was very comfortable and there was NO WIND!!! I have hair that's just past my shoulders and it wasn't disturbed at all, even at freeway speeds.

The XKR is my third convertible and the wind screens I had for both of the other two cars (BMW 3-series, Audi RS4) were both OEM and neither of them worked as well as this one and both were really a pain to install. I was able to get the Adamesh wind screen installed by myself in about 30 seconds and that included getting it out of my trunk.
