Wind Break on a Convertible
I was watching a video of a Jaguar - convertible - and notice a wind break (not sure what they call it) behind the (and in-between) the passenger seats in the back..... used to break the back wind from behind the car. I've never seen those before - in a Jaguar - but evidently you can get them ?? Anyone know what I'm talking about - and where you can buy such a device ??

It’s called a ‘wind deflector’.
There is an OEM version, which also requires brackets installed behind the rear seats that then provide slots between the seat backs and the center cushion to hold tabs on the OEM deflector.
Then there are several aftermarket versions that have pegs that slide into the upper seatbelt slots.
The aftermarket versions are certainly less costly. I have the OEM version that came with the car.

The wind deflector works best if you have the Remote Control Soft Top with Optional Rear Window Controller accessory by Forum member WhiteXKR (Steve, the Jag Wrangler) so you can raise all 4 windows with the top down. It's what the factory forgot. If I can install it myself, so can you!

Thank you everybody for the information and product links. I came across this https://www.cravenspeed.com/ company in Portland Oregon that ships for free - and has really good products and people. Buy American when I can - and you should give them a try.

Where did you find the wind deflector? They have a lot for other cars though.

They also have wind deflectors. Just give them a call. The cost is $299 - yes higher than from Europe - but free shipping. And buying American made.

I was delayed due to being on back order, but from the UK to FL took TWO days.
Fedex delivered it to a different address but the homeowner called and I had it installed in about 15 minutes.
Next up will be Jagwrangler's one-touch module.
