- Fits the car well, but is too permanent of a mounting system. It took my bf 20 minutes to install, and in the meantime I was almost late for an appointment. If it were easier to take on and off, that would be great, but I personally think it is a bit hard to use. Works okay, however.
- US driver purchasing from the UK. Didn’t go over too well because the price was too high. I paid way too much in shipping and handling, and even more in the currency conversion. If it were the same price for both US and UK owners proportionately, it would be worth it, but not when it is almost twice as much for US drivers.
- Excellent windscreen, but the cost is pretty high. If you have the money to spend, it looks great on the vehicle, but if you don’t, this definitely is not the option for you. Also, no warranty or extras are available with this company, so you won’t find tinting or a variety of lighting systems on it. Despite these small inconveniences, it still works very nice, and I love it.
- Wanted an etched windscreen, but I couldn’t get one through these guys. I ended up buying it through VW itself and was just okay with the screen. It works well enough, but I know I could have done better if I would have looked around a bit more. That and the windscreen was very expensive, and where I am posting this review right now shows windscreens for much cheaper—much better. Cut your losses and move on, right?

- Very professionally done windscreen. It looks like it could have come from the dealer, but without the heavy price tag. $90 bucks is great for an acrylic windscreen with that kind of quality cut. The $15 extra for lexan ensures it won’t ever crack or break, and the etching work they do is probably the best in the windscreen business.
- The strapping system is very nice. It uses buckles instead of Velcro, which really makes it much easier to install nice and tight. I had it up to 85 on the freeway and it was doing fine. I can hear my boyfriend talk to me now, but of course, he’s in the passenger seat! :) Great job on the windscreen, I installed it all by myself easily.
- Looks great on the car and vice versa. The mounting system is great because it doesn’t wrap around the headrest where my head goes, and that’s super! Also, the etching job you guys did worked perfect with my company name. A 100% satisfied customer here.
- The laser cut is so nice. It is perfectly smooth and polished, so I don’t have to worry about handling it and getting scratched up, such as with tabletop cut plexiglass. I also dropped this a couple days ago while taking it off, and it was perfectly fine. I wouldn’t find that with a tempered glass or acrylic windscreen, so I am definitely impressed. I have put almost 300 drives on this windscreen since first getting it, if my math is right on the commuting time per week.
- Strap system is too hard to install. I don’t know how to loosen the buckle straps. Taped it on and it worked good, though.
- Excellent system and does a great job in both my Seattle commute and my cross country road trips with my wife. You would think the constant air flow on a long drive would be obnoxious, but with the windblock in place, it is actually quite pleasant and I enjoy it very much.
