Default Wind diverter

For lack of a better term, does anyone make a wind diverter to put on the windshield? I'm thinking some thing that would bolt on to the top of the windshield to deflect the air more straight up that would fit my 382 windshield. I'm a tall guy and to see over the bow, I am up in the windstream whether I sit or stand. Anybody solve this one? I'd give up some aerodynamics for less wind in my face.

Thanks,
Garrett

I use one on each side of my 382, it works great.

you just have to trim the rubber stop blocks down to get the right "squeeze" on your w/s frame.

also, the pads on the clamps tend to migrate from heat and vibration. I've had to reglue mine back in place once before, and they need doing again now.

I feel they are a good value. I've had mine 3 years. The acrylic is even holding up well. Fine scratches from cleaning can't be helped, but still optically clear.

I've always wondered about adding something like that because I'm tall too! Where do you get them and how much $$?

They were $60.00 each with reasonable freight. I had a problem with mine (I created) and they took care of me better than I could have expected.
