- I was not fixing to pay $180 for a new replacement wind deflector or the plexiglass counterpart I saw on EBAY... I happened upon an ingenious idea (being the bipolar crazy genius that iam) and bought a screen shade from Walmart and WALLA... CHEAP. EFFECTIVE AND UNLIKE THE PEN DEFLECTOR, I CAN HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE BACK WHEN IT IS INSTALLED.. !! I'm guessing this will work with ALL convertible a being that the head rests are usually about the same width and you can stretch nor improvise how you latch it!! Sometimes it's the SIMPLE things in life. IMPROVISE.. THANKS ME. LIKE ME.. SUBSCRIBE ME OR DO NADA.. Doesn't stop me from being bipolar! Lol
I want to thank you! I have a G37 Convertible, and the wind screen was $500!! I saw your video and BAM!! Off to Walmart I went. You were right! It works great!! Great idea!
This absolutely works fantastic! We use bungee cords to secure behind both head rests through the little holes where the suction cups go. This hack is brilliant, and looks way better than the oem version, and doesn't block riders in the back seat! Great idea!!
Its a stretch to say this looks "better" than an oem Infiniti wind deflector. Sure, it's relatively expensive for the oem part, but the oem part was *designed to fit the g37 exactly* and it blocks off the back seats, blocking more wind. Great hack, but I wouldn't agree it's aesthetically pleasing as an oem part.
This is BRILLIANT! The current version on Walmart has 4 loops instead of 2, but it works the same. THANKS, man!!!
Just did the hack 5 mins ago and works well. I added some short bungi cords to the back seat netting to minimize the loose bottom section. Well played...
Damn man i though this would look cheap and bad, but it actually looks good.
A simple clean look, inexpensive and easy to store ... Nice Job!!!
Great idea! What's the brand of the sunscreen? Trying to find the same one that has the cups embedded into the middle to tie it around the headrests. Thanks a lot
Auto Drive is brand.
Correct! Not sure brand
This is great, thanks so much. Used this to create a rear seat deflector on my audi a3 cab.. Fits perfectly wedged behind the fold-down rear seats after cutting holes for the latches. Car came with stock wind deflector but this is the only way to have two rows of passengers and wind deflection!
Holy shit - I've just bought a 330ci convertible - and will definitely give this a try before I overspend on a screen. If this works... I'll owe you a drink!
U should buy a thousand of those n sell em as wind deflectors for any convertible lol great idea man
Nah.. Stiff like this from ingenuitive people should be free to all..
Kinda wish there was an Amazon link to it
Genius! Many years later, where can I buy the exact mesh?!
Looks good, even rear passengers can sit in
Fab video just done this to my BMW E46 and it works
I'm about to buy my first convertible and I'm going to try this instead of spending £140 on a proper wind deflector!
Hey, dog, I did this yesterday on my Camry Solara Convertible. It works okay until I get to about 40 - 45 mph. Then the top of it flutters a lot .... more as my speed increases.
- really annoying around 125 mph - (jus' kidding.)
So, gotta figure out a way to add more strength to the top part of it between the headrests.
One thing I did add was a small, thin bungee cord to the center of the bottom, so I could hook, it to the bottom of my center console in the back. This give is more stability ... and helps keep it from sliding up.
Good idea. I wasn't into the $200 for a real one, either.
Nice what's the length of the screen?
thanks bro used this for years
Great idea you just saved me a lot of $$$
Thank you
Good idea but not sure how it would stay in place doing 70 down the motorway.
It stayed on and did not flap around like you would think.. Since the material is perforated, at high speeds it just allows more air to flow through.
What you talkin about Willis? E46 convertible wind deflector is now around $500.
I paid about $350 for mine for my 2005 E46 M3 in 2008. Luckily it has held up well.
It was worth every penny, but I wouldn't want to pay today's prices for it.
I hear you...600+ at Turner Motorsport. Yikes
Deplorable Dave Yeah, I was thinking about one for mine on cooler nights, until I saw the $600 price tag, and was like so not worth it!
I'm about to order a sunshade and black elastic, and try this myself very soon. Thank you! 😎☀️("Bipolar hacks" - yep, this hit home 👌🏻).
Thank you for the hack, I am about to head to walmart now for my 2013 convertible camaro!!
Haha. What a great hack. And honestly it doesn't look that bad.
I probably do that if my original windscreen ever broke or got stolen.
Get your interior detailed. Your driver seat can be easily stitched back at the seams.
Lol my VW Eos came with the wind deflector from factory
Theres no walmart in UK
Yes, but there are Halfords.
Amazon 😉
Thanks for sharing. Ignore the insults from the snobs! I have money for the real thing but MUCH prefer to save my money when possible.
You are very welcomed.!..smart people worth money actually budget buy! (like us).. I now have a 650: Convertible.. And will still buy this from Walmart of needed!
@@cheekothemancanthebipolarg1156 I purchased the screen at Walmart for $5. I went to Dollar Tree and bought two 24" dog collars. Ran each dog collar through one of the ring and adjusted it for my head rests. Looks factory made. Works like a charm. Cost $7. You're my hero!
f"n brilliant bro im getting one today
Daayuuum..you one creative bipolar doood!!
Thanks for your video. That's an awesome idea.
muy bueno ademas de cumplir su funcion se monta en un pis pas

Looks better then the original and best part is the boys can sit in the back aswell with the original no1 can sit in the back of an ryt
Sorry doesn't look better than the original. But ur right u can have passengers with his hack.
Great Idea and well presented BUT Hey Buddy, Did you buy that E46 at Walmart as well :) :}
LOL. coincedentally I bought it in the Walmart parking lot!!
BRILLANT!!!!
Search this product in Walmart website> Zone Tech Clear Car Sun Stop Shade Premium Quality Mesh Rear Window Shade
Horrific. A fucking discrace.
Cool fu*king idea!
Great idea!
Until it let's got on the motorway and causes a 10 car pile up.
That made me laugh thinking about the movie final destination! I can see it now : "wait' what caused this!?, a damn flying screen mesh!!?"...
BTW--I like your dog.
DOPE!
Instead of spending big bank on those sharp looking wheels, that cash should have been spent on the front seats.
What else was neglected or skimped on?
Bro.. This is my work car.. I don't baby it.. I have a bike.. A spider and a 650.. I dont waste time on cosmetics as long as my engine/transmission is service per. Records... Thanks for your "insight" rims were free..
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!
Yo , you should patent that for wheelbarrows..... HELLO... HELL NO! Next you’ll be telling me to screw a 2x4 with a piece of tire attached to it on to my BMW and pull it for braking because it saves money on brake pads.
Thank you man
Ghetto Fabulous!!!!

Money doesn't buy common sense or ingenuity, sir.. I have money to buy a new BMW. BUT I'm a humble and common sense kind of person where I don't mind saving money... The rich stay rich because they know this... I don't eat steak every day.. But if I wanted to.. I can... Thanks for your inpit.
