think i found the optimal wind deflector for us to begin modding on... it comes up to 38.5 inches wide and they have a smaller one also. the lip curves upward which would send wind up and over the canvas and the headers of our sky sliders... here's the link

i mean its not ready to go it would require some modding i think because i think it's still not wide enough for the sky slider

If I keep the KK, I'm just going to get 2 smaller deflectors and make one larger one from them pieces. Shouldn't be very hard, and so what if there is a visible line up the middle where the 2 halves meet?

another update the 41.5 wont fit haha.. too small on the positive its been said that weathertech used to make a 44 inch which should just about do it.. i sent them a message... we'll see what happens... i told them about the issue and hte number of people who wanted the deflector. even told em i'd take measurements and be a guinea pig for anything they produce

After a long 300 mile drive in the wind.
i am ready for a fix...
This thing howls badly....

I am not sure where they spend $20 million on reasech for this thing.
it seem like a huge waist of money....

I love the SS, but this wind noise is the worst......
