Mesh Windscreen
Mesh Windscreen
I recently purchased a windscreen for my 2006 Crossfire Limited. The company I dealt with was great and the item was shipped to my home quickly. I love the fit and the look of the windscreen. Please look at the photos. If you are interested in purchasing the windscreen, the web site is: www.tuningshop.co.uk (Racing Brand Ltd.) They offer a discount to Crossfire Forum members. The total price which included shipping was $276.41. Have a great day!

Looks great! They've changed them slightly since I bought mine from them about 5 years ago. At least you got the discount which they didn't offer back then. Here's mine:

re: Mesh Windscreen
This looks good. I'm wondering how thick it is. Looks like you would need to move the sear forward a bit. I have the the seat back as far back as possible, and I want more, less might be an issue.

re: Mesh Windscreen
Another alternative is to do what I did....
I moked up a template out of cardboard that utilizes the umbrella holder screw connections as the support, took it to my local plastics shop and had then cut me a smoked piece of 1/4 inch lexan with rounded edges.
I had to spend some time with wet sandpaper to get the edges nice and smooth (just a tad on the OCD side!! - or is that CDO for the correct alphabetical order ;-))
$60.00 Canadian.
Looks great, works awesome.

re: Mesh Windscreen
I've been looking for a mesh windscreen for awhile now as I'm not a big fan of the clear plastic ones. Despite the fact that they are now an exclusive Jag only parts supplier, I checked with Adamesh in the UK to see, if by chance, they had any old Crossfire windscreens left. Sure enough, they rummaged through their warehouse and found one, last Adamesh Crossfire windscreen.
I purchased it this a.m. and should have it later this week shipped via DHL. It looks identical to InfernoRed's and price was on par with the Tuning Shop version.

re: Mesh Windscreen
I also have an adamesh screen from UK. Works great, but like everyone says doesn't eliminate wind altogether. But why have a Roadster if you don't like the wind. How about the new Mercedes which pipes heater air up in back of the seats. That's really cool, err I mean warm.
re: Mesh Windscreen
Looks great. Two other windscreens members have good words about is the Windblox crossfire windscreen, and the one made by King Penn. There's also a crossfire windscreen review published. I have one of these windscreens, which helps, but doesn't cut down on all wind, but it does make cruising topless a blast in the spring! My wife still needs to use a hair clippy.
re: Mesh Windscreen
Has anyone tried the ones from Chrysler Crossfire Windscreen Windblocker Wind Deflector. This is my first convertible and I have no experience with windscreens. What is better a solid Lexan or a screen material? Can you actually talk on a phone with the top down and doing 70 mph with one of these?
Thanks for any feedback.

they also cost a LOT more.
I have one from your link above, and am quite happy with it.
You can talk on a cell if you put both windows up.
Do not order the vinyl case for it, you will find that once you install it, you will leave it on, except for occasional cleaning.
BTW, I do not recall the name, but the guy at that site is very helpful.
I made the mistake of ordering only 2 of the clear vinyl straps, I sent him an email inquiring how to get 2 more, and he threw four new ones in the mail to me for FREE !

From personal experience, I can tell you that talking on the phone and driving 70 mph is NOT wise. We think we're great drivers until........
JMHO
re: Mesh Windscreen
My personal preference is the screen material. I like the looks of it over the solid Lexan. It is a personal choice as far as looks go. When you speak about performance, most of them don't block all of the wind and it doesn't stop all of the wind noise. When you purchase a convertible you must also be aware that you will have wind and wind noise to contend with. I don't think there is a product out there that will totally eliminate wind and wind noise.

You could wear one of those Formula 1 helmets and have Metallica cranked up loud in the earphones. That would look odd though.
Why not just do the IPOD and earplugs.
Who cares if you miss an occasional truck horn or train whistle .....
