This lightweight wind deflector was developed for the 2016 Corvette Stingray convertible. It is the first self-mounted, transparent and frameless design to meet wind deflector standards. The raked shape minimizes turbulence and noise with the top down. Using polycarbonate rather than glass allowed for a contoured shape that is 33% lighter in mass and meets marking requirements with a laser-etched monogram. A plasma coating provides scratch, chemical and UV resistance for a long lifespan.
