Apologies for being absent for so long from here. I have been wrapped up in another project vehicle for the past 2.5 years, with my E46 M3 convertible. With the weather in the NE slowly starting to break, I was wondering if there is a behind the seats mesh wind deflector similar to what I have for my BMW. Basically what it does is stops the incoming wind from curling around and hitting you in the back of the neck. The net result is that you can drive around with the top down on a 40 degree day and not be so cold, that you and your passengers have to carry separate blankets with you. I did find one from a company called RedRock, but it doesn't seem to be mesh. If anyone has any experience with something like this I'd like to her about it. Actually, I do have the front and rear sun shades from Alien Shade, but I have never used the rear one. If anyone here has used both the front and rear mesh shades, do they end up acing like wind deflectors if they are both on at the same time? Is there a noticeable difference with them both mounted? Also, I'm only referring to the wind issue with the freedom top open. Scenario: Its 52 today and sunny. Too cold to take the windows off, but you'd like to get some sun/vitamin D. So you open the freedom top section and fold it back. What comes next as you pull off is a constant blast of cold air straight down onto the top of your head as if you mounted a hi-velocity fan to the top of your jeep. You would kind of get the same effect in the BMW, until you flip up the mesh wind deflector and turn on the heat. Once you do that, you can get on the highway at 90mph and you don't feel anything.
