I just read Keith's post about his 6'10" friend whose head was above the windshield and it reminded of me of something I think about nearly every time I drive my car with the top down. (99% of the time)

I am 5'11" which is not tall, but I get a lot of wind right into my head and when driving, so I can only imagine what it does to the tall guys, and in the afternoon when driving into the Sun, it is directly into my eyes, which almost makes me want to pull over and put the top up.

I envision a tinted plexiglass deflector that could be attached to the top of the header and secured into the same latch that holds the top down. What I see is something that would rise about three or four inches and then curve back six inches or so that would deflect that stream of air over the top of your head and also give some relief from the Sun right in your eyes.

Is there such a product? Does anyone else think that this would be something that they would like to have?

 

Hi, I do not know if there is such a device.
I like you have thought about the fact that even with the rear wind deflector, which does a pretty good job at keeping wind from the lower cabin area does absolutely nothing for the head or upper area wind that comes from the winshield frame of the car.
If you are tall never mind the wind, it would be the bugs that would be offensive.
Jaguar should have a built in devise that can "pop-up" when the top is down, or as you said an attachable device to make the wind go up and over the head.
GOOD IDEA...

Happy Motoring...
