Rear seat passenger excessive wind with top down

Gen6 softtop · 12-12-2017, 08:12 AM

So as the title states, I am looking for a way to reduce the amount of wind the rear passenger gets exposed to. My daughter rides back there right now she's not to tall, but when she gets taller I think the wind noise could cause hearing loss due to the wind noise. If not it definitely beats you up. I was wondering if the non GM wind deflector would minimize this? It seems as if it's the wind from the windshield causing this

can this be improved upon?

would be interested in this aswell, my daughter is 4 riding in back, will be getting smaller booster seat that will make her lower so hopefully that helps

I noticed, you can reduce this drag by closing the windows while the top is down.

Yes, raising the windows will dramatically cut down on the beating that a rear passenger takes.

I would imagine something like this type of wind restrictor would help?

The windrestrictor.com web site indicates that one for Gen6 Camaros will be coming soon.

I purchased a non GM windscreen for my '17 vert and its similar to the OEM one, so no passengers can sit in the back with it installed. It will be nice to see one like this for the 6th gen hat doesn't restrict rear passengers!

I would be interested in knowing which one does the best in blocking wind in the front cabin. They are both around the same price so just need the one that works the best as the back seat wont be used in my case (other than for small storage)

Anyone have any experience with either type?
