- The windscreen does a really great job, actually, but I don't like the mounting system at all. It took me about 30 minutes to put on. I'm not very mechanically inclined, but even I thought it would be easier. Thus, I have to say that I was not completely impressed with the windscreen, despite the fact that it performed fairly well.
- I would say this windscreen is just okay. On top of it, the price was so pricey! I paid $280 after shipping, maybe a little less. I thought for sure that it would be cheaper than that, but I guess I didn't take into account the exchange rate. It's not something I really mind, but I think it is a slight rip-off. Live and learn. If you like the look, buy it, if you want something that really works, there are other options out there.
- The windscreen feels durable putting it on, but its performance is lacking just a bit. Because of this, I would say the value isn’t worth more than 3/5 stars. The product needs more work to make it better at deflecting wind, and I think they could start with a new design. The company was fairly easy to deal with by email, however.
- Good windscreen and pretty effective. I am not sure I really got a great deal since I found another similar windscreen just a few months later online for about $100, but it does the trick and keeps some of the wind out of my Z. I have noticed I drive it a few extra hours a week now with the top down, so I would say it definitely works.
- The screen in the rigid frame is really nice and certainly does the job while out driving, but let me be honest with all future customers: you are going to be charged an arm and leg for this. At $380, I bought it thinking it had an edge on other windscreen companies. I have a friend with a Cruiser convertible and a windscreen for $120 with etchings. It works just as well. Definitely shop around unless you are too lazy to.
- Works OK, but was not worth the money. I expected much better performance—and with good reason. For almost $400, this thing should fly and make my coffee. Next time I will check windscreenreview.net more carefully before making a purchase. Better luck next time, right? –Shannon
- Too expensive and too hard to get on the darn car. I spent over an hour getting it all hooked up, and the first time it rained I removed it because I didn’t want it on with the cover. That was a pain, and I finally went out and bought a cheaper strap on blocker for less than half the price. Waste of money. . .
- Elaborate design and good performance. It took about 20 minutes to install with a friend and worked very well. The only thing I regret is tinting and the material they used, as I would have desired a kind of plastic that could strap on. No complaints here, however as the windscreen works exceedingly well.

- This windscreen is a cool idea, but I can tell it’s a version 1.0 product that needs a bit of refinement. The fit is a little off. This wind deflector certainly works, but it could work better. This is one attractive windscreen though.
- Amazing product! I think this product is the coolest one out there, especially the way it lights up. The installation is a bit of a pain, but looks great if you can sweat through it. A+ all of the way for me.
- My windscreen certainly looks and works great. The only problem is the arms that hook onto the roll hoops don’t grip tight, so this windblocker wobbles around a bit. I’ll have to keep on eye to see if it wears against the car. Otherwise, I’d recommend it.
- What the?? 259 Euro for this thing? It's no better than half of the other windscreens out there, and it definitely has lower reviews than even some of the $90 ones. I would rather have gone with the cheaper ones. I thought buying German and having the tempered glass would be better, but I was wrong. It does perform very well, however.
- 1 drop = 1 broken windscreen = $400 gone. That sucks. Get something with a warranty or get something that won't break that easily. I can only say that I am glad to be in a position to not feel too bad about the $400, but still, it was shocking that such a product coming from an international market would be so fragile. It looked really nice, too, which was a bummer.
- Looks amazing on the car and the logos are a really nice perk! I definitely like the way it caters to the car's design and streamline.

- Best windscreen I’ve ever used. The only problem is the strap system, but it is of little consequence when you climb in and feel the difference in the wind and noise. Tested up to 110mph by GPS standards. Held fast and still cut wind down. Great product!
- Perfect for the commuter or anyone else in my opinion. I got this a month after driving my car, and I am glad the memory without it is only a fading one. The windscreen has a very strong lexan construction. I ordered it with etchings and a dark tint. My car looks even better with it on, I swear.
- I got this a few months after I learned I would be put on as a reporter and would have to drive a bit for investigative purposes. The windscreen was definitely built for aesthetic and performance purposes, and I look even hotter when I climb out of my car because my hair is intact and not windblown. Thanks WB! –Karen
- Bad news first. Bad news: 1.) I had to pay to get this thing, and it is so good it should be free to all. Good news: 1.) The windscreen is the best one I have ever tested. I have used windscreens from the UK and US, this one takes the cake. 2.) I drive the heck out of my rental cars each year, and this is the only windscreen I have had that has been mounted for 4 months and not moved. To me, that’s amazing. Good job Windblox
- Nice windscreen with good tinting and works like a charm!
- Performance is amazing and so far has exceeded my expectations. My package got hung up for a couple weeks when it got lost in the mail. Windblox worked with me to verify all my tracking codes, etc, and was very courteous. I received my windblock and had it on my car in less than 2 minutes.
- Their options for their windscreens are very nice, and the variety they have is almost exclusive to their company. I chose them because they are much cheaper than other companies, yet have the top reviews. I also wanted the straps, etchings, and tint together in one package. I could look around their website and get exactly what I want from them.
- Windscreen came fast and on time. Worked great on my car and intend to keep for a very long time. Can really tell the difference in the amount of wind/noise in the cockpit. Would highly recommend to anyone needing a good windscreen at a great price.
- Cheapest price with the best ratings out there. I would say the leader in value for windscreens. My only complaint is the strap system. It lets you take it on and off really easily, but I wanted something that I could mount and leave on for a while. I considered drilling holes myself, but decided against it. I have been really happy with it the way it is, anyway.
- Work great and does the job that Windblox says it will. As we say at eBay: “A++++++ seller.” Thanks!
- What a great product! I was a little skeptical of the straps but the reviews were very good. The product did not disappoint. Good customer service. There was a question about my order and they called me to confirm my selection. Came quickly. Mounts easily. Stays tight. Works well. My wife rides in the car with me now. Easily added 10 degrees to my top down driving.
- Mounting system took way too long to install. I am not sure who they are kidding, but 20 minutes is a joke. It took me twice that long. The windscreen is also way too low and small to really be as effective as I would like. I want my money back. . .
- It’s acrylic, so it looks great. The design is completely beautiful when mounted on the car and looks like it was factory installed. I had mine taken in and etched, and the guy did a great job. It has done a great job so far and I am sure I will be enjoying many more nights out with it.
- Good solution and fairly good performance. The price is way too high for a simple acrylic windscreen, however. I could get a lexan windscreen for much cheaper, and material DOES matter when buying one of these guys. Lexan will take the beating 60x more than glass will. In a car, that is important to me. Besides the cost, works great.
- Does the task and does it pretty well. The price seemed high compared to other companies, but I got it because the company seems to know what they are doing with BMWs. Haven’t regretted it at all, but the cut was a bit cheap since it wasn’t clear, but foggy instead. Can’t really see it anyway, so I don’t care much.
- Fits the Z4 great, but doesn’t come off as readily as I would like it to. I would much prefer a strap on system. Still, can’t complain since it works okay. Value is the only thing I am really concerned about, and I am sure you could find a cheaper product out there that works just as good and had a nicer mounting system. The grass is always greener on the other side, right?

- Super price, but definitely massed produced. The cut quality is perfect and the one year warranty is great and shows they can prove their work. But no options and no extras make it a terrible inconvenience for a gift shopper like myself. Cheap and easy to use, but not aesthetically pleasing.
- Looks like a square of glass I cut myself and plastered on the car, but works pretty well, and it’s a heck of a deal for $68. If you don’t need a perfect looking windscreen that has all the “curves in the right places,” this will work just fine. If looks is big for you, then maybe you might want to reconsider.
- Works awesome and a great deal at only $70 + shipping. Installed in. . .about 1 minute and I was enjoying my drive the next. The only real problem is if you get a funny wind blowing the right angle and haven’t strapped the screen down really tight, it can wiggle funny. Besides that does a fantastic job.
- Does the job but looks horrible when I compared it to other manufacturers. I would definitely choose one with better design, like a semi circle or flaps coming off the side or something. Otherwise it looks like you got it at home depot and used a high-quality routing bit on it.
- Most bang for your buck in my opinion. Bought it for $70 or whatever the price is plus shipping and had it on the car in just a minute or two.
- OK, but not looking real hot. I bought a Z4 for a reason, and that was to look good and own a sporty car. The windscreen doesn’t really match this, and if you have the money to get a BMW, I would think you could afford an extra $20 on top of this and go with a better windscreen. I don’t know, but I wasn’t satisfied with the look and effectiveness was just OK. Your call.
- Cheapest on the market. You can totally tell when you get it that they are used to cranking these things out fast, which is why I am assuming it is shaped like a rectangle. Easy to cut, etc. But to be honest, I really could care less. It works fine and my wallet is still in my pocket with at least a little cash in it. Call me cheap, but that is what this product is—a bargain.
