Default Rear wind deflector

Does anyone have a rear wind deflector for the XK8. I am thinking about getting one. Do they really work? Seems like a lot of money for what you get. Could allmost make my own.

We have a wind deflector of the type shown on Gus' site. In my opinion, this is the better style as no holes are cut into the leather behind the front seats. They are worth the money and cut down considerably on the wind turbulence that comes over the windshield then curls back into the front seats.

The dealer prices are outrageous but there are others available for about half that.

Saw your site & pic install looks great. I searched your info and could not find the manufacturer of the screen. Could you let me know.
Thanks

Got my deflector on E-Bay. Also did not need to drill into the leather.

Mine installed in...about that long - no mods and half the price as the dealer - highly recommend, with windows up makes a great difference - if REAR windows went up, it would be perfect

My only concern is that that fix is above my pay grade
