Default air screen

Do these really help that much? I 'mocked' one up to try and see the effect, and not sure there was that much difference. Still seemed to get about the same amount of buffeting. What do other users feel?

I really think it depends on how high up you sit which really means how tall you are. I have the Mingster screen which is higher than the stock unit but not as high as Rick's full height screen. My hair is still floppng around every which way when driving on a highway. Granted, I usually have the windows half way down The windscreen appears to have an effect when my girlfriend is in the passenger sit, her long hair flops around much less than my short haircut.

I use Rick's 7/8th and it makes a difference. The cabin is not suddenly a smooth quiet environment but baseball caps don't try to fly off my head as much. I also sometimes run with a mount in place of the windscreen and the wind is MUCH more noticeable without a windscreen.

There is a huge dfference with and without the windscreen. I got the Mingster windscreen, which is bigger than the stock one, but before that, I had no windscreen. Once I put the Mingster aeroscreen on, I noticed a difference in the car right away, even without having the windows up. The car was much quieter and the wind wasn't as bad. With the windows up, the difference is even greater.
