kees	Hello, 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, kees
Dave Mills	I purchased mine this year knowing that they do not work well, but I like the looks. There are varying comments on this but the consensus seems to be that they don't do a lot for deflecting wind.
Marty Usher	I agree they look great. Our Air Patrol deflects enough wind or changes they direction of the wind enough that at highway speeds Rebecca & I aren't straining our voices like before to carry on a conversation. It is also possible for me to talk on the cellphone (with windows up) with AP and top down at highweay speeds. Below 50 MPH it does a better job of blocking wind also.
kees	Great, Thanks. Are they just that easy to install as stated on the website without any mod's ( just snap on and go ) ?? !! Best regards, kees

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 - ------------------ Current mods: Mopar dual exhaust & front mudflaps; MacMotorsports Air Intake; Real Rod Air Patrol; Graphics by Balistek Designs; ($8) Chrome grille; Chrome tire valve-stem covers; Painted rear bumper lettering; Prowler Pro Gears; Synthetic Oil; Raybestos Ceramic Brake Pads; TGF Door Panel Inserts & Headrest Covers; SheepskinExpress Sheepskin Seatcovers; Grille Light; Pinstriping by Bo Boring; Painted Valve Cover; Window Tinting; Windshield Visor Banner; Front Bumper Removal / Relocation of Front Turn Signal Lights; Real Rod Transmission Cooler Cover, Sill and Carper Covers, Aero Front Covers and Roadster Rear Pan, rear bumpers removed; rear mudflaps; painted calipers; Prowler Products by Gary Drilled Rotors, front and rear; Painted tach; Jay's Aluminum Billet Center Caps w/shimmers, Chrome Lugnuts and Chrome Radio Bezel Shimmer; Dash Rings; Windshield Wiper Arm Removal; Fender Trim; Speaker Replacement; Painted Plenum; Painted Radiator Crossmember; Painted Rear Mudflaps; Air Patrol graphics; Aluminum engine compartment support bars; PlasmaGlow 7-color LED Underbody Kit; Dash Designs Dash Mat; and Airbrushed Rear Trim Panel.

L. E. CAT 2	Kees - We like ours and enjoy the look. Seems to work on wind up to 65 mph. WTH,,,,Life begins at 125 MPH Buy it,,,you'll like it. ------------------ Life Begins at 125 Miles Per Hour! Proud member of the Arizona Prowler Trash
charlie bui	The air patrol does not reflect wind as much as it should, compare to other convertible that I had owned. But the air patrol does add style and cool looks to the vehicle. I bought it maily for the coolness of it, that alone, is worth the money.
kees	Gents, 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. Kees
