Any experiences out there using an Air Patrol (Air
Deflector) unit to avoid strong winds coming in over 50
MPH.

Want to buy one from RealRod.com but wonder how effective
it is.

Best regards,

Are they just that easy to install as stated on the
website without any mod's ( just snap on and go ) ?? !!

Yes, easy on or off. Connects in the openings where the softtop would be locked in place on the trunk lid. Although we haven't tried it, the air patrol can be stored in the trunk when the softtop is up.

In addition to the other comments above, we have noticed that in the cooler weather 30 - 40 degrees (yes, we have cold weather in southern NM) with Air Patrol in place, windows up and heater on it is very cozy in the car. We drive year round top down, so it is nice to make that choice knowing you're not going to freeze in the winter.

We love the look, almost like having a rollbar. And Real Rod does a great job of matching the color -

Thanks for the info. Will give it a try and order one in
Prowler Gold.

And on the >>> 125 MPH, I do agree in my other cars.
The Prowler does seem to get unstable over 95 MPH not to
say the least about dents and rib's in the roads.

Like the stripes Pumpkin.
