Wind screen for roadster

[don 147]

Any body tried this brand, if so , what do you thing about it.http://www.windblox.com/styles/bmw_z4_windblocker.htm
I have the mesh now, and was looking at the one from roadster solutions and then saw this one. Looks like this one may be larger, can't tell though.

I've been trying to find a windblocker as well. These looks functional but the nylon straps look cheap to me. Though, it's hard to complain about the price.
I keep going back and forth with the roadster solutions and the OEM removable screen.

The mesh screen doesn't seem to do much to me, I guess it helps some. I think the roadster solution screen looks better, but this price and ease of install caught me eye.

This looks like a good bet for those of us with extended leather too. I don't want to put up or drill into the leather on the hoops to install the Roadster Solutions model so this looks like it could work out nicely.

This is http://www.kingpennindustries.com/Wi...l.aspx?wrid=10 the other one I'm looking at. Quite a bit more money though

Those straps look cheap as hell, no way I would put that on my car.

I think the mesh one works great, but you can get cut plexiglass ones like the second link above on eBay for less. I think Roadster Solutions also sells a similar one for less.

I picked up a BMW OEM one a few years back for around $500 from BMW Cleveland through their ebay store and I really like it. It works great, looks very nice and it has a high quality to it.

If I had not gotten that, I think I would have gone for the Roadster Solutions screen.

I have the Roadster Solutions one and can recommend it. I've used it at highway+ speeds with no problems (meaning no buffeting and it hasn't flown off). Just remember that if you have extended leather on your roll hoops you have to mention this as fitment will be different (says their website)

I've had the windblox now for about 7 months now. It does a good job for the price. You really don't notice the straps. I'm happy with it.

Roadster Solutions version looks like it was factory made for the car. I love mine!

Thank you for the link. I just called Circle BMW and place my order. This beats any price I've seen by at least $200.

Welcome. That's why I'm considering it as well.
I like that it can be removed easily

That is about what I paid for my OEM deflector a few years ago. I didnt realize that they had become so expensive since then. I thought Circle's price of around $500 complete was common, but I guess not.

[jdoublehcubed]

wow that is a great price. that includes all new roll hoop covers, right?

Yeah it's extremely expensive elsewhere. Next cheapest price I could find was roadster solutions for $600

Looks like you have to order all the pieces but total should be 460 +shipping.
