My car came with a wind deflector and I tested both with and without it.

If you drive with the windscreen and the windows up, you can set a stack $100 bills on the front seat and none of them will blow away at 75 mph!

Actually you can roll the back windows up when the top is diwn by simply holding the sensor button where the front top latch locks into then using the window buttons.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
24 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.
0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

I have owned a couple other convertibles in my 48 years, but every time I drive this car with the top down I am blown away by how quiet it is. It almost seems quieter with the top down then when up LOL. No creaks from the top. Even at 75 on the freeway you can hear music and actually have a conversation. Is it even better with the windscreen set up?

I am also impressed with the overall rigidity of the cab chasis. However it is still a cab and no way as tight as a coupe. I always felt the purpose of a convertible is to have the wind blowing your hair all over the place.
Well how bout them apples. Good to know. Have you posted it in the "Things I didn't know about the 996" sticky thread yet? Love the Smart Top module for all the other reasons but this is great info.
Cheers,

Do you happen to have any pics with the wind deflector installed? I ask because I when I go to the airport I have to put my rollaboard on the back seat shelf. The C4S frunk is so small it will not hold a suitcase. I have not put up the wind deflector thinking it would restrict storage space or get damaged by the suitcase. Thanks in advance.
Here is mine with 2 golf bags underneath it.
My car with wind deflector down and two golf bags underneath. You could also fit two duffle bags in the foot wells behind the seats if you wanted to.
You can can also put the top up with the wind deflector on and in the up position.
I saw part of an episode of that "Dumb Crooks: Where are they now" TV show where a dude from Texas was bragging online with a stack of $100's in one hand and a "perfectly good" IMS retrofit bearing in the other.
I never got to watch the full episode and always wonder how it turned out. I had to quit watching at the point he was trying to print out email records on flash paper to burn them and destroy the evidence - but the laser printer kept burning the flash paper. Damn, that was some good TV. I haven't seen a man put together a plan that solid since Geraldo Rivera opened up Al Capone's vault...
Very quiet with the top down........... even with Billy Boat exhaust system.
I do notice belt whine a lot more with the soft top up, less so with the hard top on......... curious.......
I've done that a lot over the years, then one day discovered I'd dented and scratched the seatbacks with all of the jostling of the bags and sticks. DOH!
My car came with a wind deflector and I tested both with and without it. Since I have little kids, I decided to leave the deflector in permanent storage (along with the leather bra).
Because I've done the Gundo Hack, my car is significantly louder with the top down or with the top up and windows down for that matter.
But I've always liked how these Porsche's can be driven with the top down and it's not a tornado in the car. Especially in a downpour at 80mph (the inside of the car is dry).
