Hey guys, there have been a bunch of posts about their effectiveness.

Just want to add my two cents. They actually do work. And it takes 30 seconds total to install both.

 

that was my first and only mod

 

I'm thinking of getting these but do they rattle around when they are in place??

 

Nope, I cleaned the hoops then put a thin layer of Shin-Etzu on the gray, plastic headrest cover... prophylaxis against plastic on plastic "scritch, scritch."

 

maybe I should ride in a car with these sometimes, because right now I can't see why I would want them, I don't have a problem with wind from the headrest.....

 

This is going to sound silly, but....

I shower and go to work in the morning. Hair is still wet. Because of where my seat position is, I used to get turbulence that would whip upwards on the back of my head.

By the time I'd get to work, I'd look like Alfalfa.


The wind blocker keeps the air moving OVER the headrest rather than through it... keeping the flow of air smooth and laminar over my head and the headrest.

If you want to test it out, just take some aluminum foil, saran wrap, or packing tape and make your own temp blocker and see how it affects your cockpit.

 

I made roll hoop inserts instead of headrest inserts - they block air from coming into the cabin before it even gets to the seats. I like it as it makes top down at 70+ mph quiet enough to talk with the passenger, plus with windows up, you can go topless all day when its 40

I always wondered if those worked.

I cut that honeycomb stuff out, the wind does not bother me at all because I never put my top down.

 

I think the hoop inserts work great, but its a DIY thing since only seat shields are sold. Someone with a full Rick's screen said turbulance increased when he added shields to the roll hoops, but for my OEM they work great.
