Anyone use the wind screen on their Cali?

On my Cali T I use it all the time. I have no back passengers so it is permanently left in the car, even when the roof is up. It is very easy to remove and install though.

With the roof down and the door windows up (I don't put the quarter windows up when the roof is down), the wind is very subdued in the cabin. With the windows down it is still comfortable. Personally speaking I believe it does help.

Other guys on here will be able to provide guidance on if there is a difference between the Cali and the Cali 30 screens.

Congrats on your new car. Post photos when you get her. Enjoy !!

I never use it. I don't even store it in the car.

 

I have not used it but maybe I should try it. I use my Cali as a DD. If I understand you there is no problem leaving it in place with the top use, correct. No one is ever in my back seat. I do travel on the open road for a couple hundred miles at a time every other month or so. My previous Sl's windscreen I found pretty much worthless.

 

My car did not come with one, either, but I bought one anyway. I use it all the time. It does reduce the buffeting a bit, as does raising the rear windows. I just leave it in the car because I never use the rear seats and almost never drive with the roof closed anyway. It does rattle a little on bumpy roads, have not tried to chase that out.

 

My salesman gave me one for free when I bought my Cali30 and said it's really meant for occupants with long flowing hair. I normally drive my car with the roof and windows rolled down. My GF has medium length hair but she wears one of my caps and it hasn't been an issue. So I just keep my screen stored away in case someone needs it one day.

I seldom drive the highways but I think that's where the windscreen will be more helpful.

 

I have never used it, nor even unpacked it. Then again, I don't have long flowing hair! 😀I wish I did!

I'd like it if Ferrari had a simpler gizmo like my wife's SLK. Think it's called an Air Guide. It tucks in behind the head rests, and you flip them out. Works a treat. Takes 5 seconds.

Mine is always in place and a couple of times I tested it at very high speed in the motorway with the top down. Because there is no police around I can reveal that the maximum speed achieved with this set-up was 275 Km/h. Even at this speed the result it's impressive and there is very little wind turbulence inside the car…...

 

We use it all the time, simple install

 

It makes a large difference at speeds over 45 mph. The only problem besides it taking some effort to install it, is that the mesh makes it harder to identify cars behind you with accuracy (the kind with red lights) until they get closer than I'd like. If you've seen the tops on Porsche 991s, they have a better system that automatically deploys at the touch of a button.

 

I have a Cali T. My wife has long hair. She insists that I use the windscreen when the top is down because her hair whips around, even with a hat on. The windscreen is quite effective in reducing buffeting at speed in addition to permitting normal conversation. It does reduce but not eliminate access to the rear "seats" if you have a briefcase or something back there. I use it all the time.

I used mine all the time with the top down. It cut down on wind whipping inside the cabin not that it was that big of a problem anyway.
