Default Wind screen

Would getting a wind screen for my C70 help get better gas mileage? Does it make a big difference in the noise/wind level in the front? They are not very cheap & it seems nearly impossible to find a used one...I have been searching on craigs list & ebay forseveral months with no luck... whereas my car is a 2000 I am wondering if it is worth it to spend the money.... Any insight on this would be great

Thanks!
DJ

Default RE: Wind screen

I bought one for my 2001 C70. It's great for extended driving over 45 MPH.
Fuel economy-no help: Put the top up.
Noise-no help: Next to an 18 wheeler nothing works, noteven the top will help.
Wind-Big Help: Driving at 45 MPH the wind is no problem at all, it works great. Even the hair doesn't blown around.
Under 45 MPH fold it back, put the windows down and let the breeze in.

Be aware there are two models with different latch clips. You may need to replace the latch cups on the sides of the rear seat depending upon the model of the wind screen. You'll need your VIN number to get these from the dealer.
