Windscreen for 2007 328i vert?

[Bigguy]

I know they sell windscreens for behind the driver compartment. It may be a silly question, but do they sell a windscreen for installation behind the passenger compartment? :help Friend has kids who get "blown away" when sitting in the back seat. Roof mechanism may interfere with a rear screen but thought I would ask.

Why not close all windows and roof and use the climate control when kids are in the car? :confused

I guess hardtop owners, you and I included, may never understand the "wind in your hair" attraction even when riding in the back seat! However, having ridden as a passenger in the back seat of a convertible with the top down, I CAN understand the desire to reduce wind turbulence back there while maintaining the open air experience.

There is no windscreen for a Sedan.

If you meant "convertible", then even if they did make a screen for the rear seat passengers, it wouldn't work. The reason that the windscreen behind the front seats works, is because driving creates a low-pressure area behind the windshield (where the front-seat passengers sit), and that low-pressure area pulls in the air that flows up over the windshield and then back down into the rear seat area. The windscreen blocks that air from reentering the front-seat passenger compartment. If there was a windscreen behind the rear-seat passengers, the airflow over the windshield would still drop down into the rear seat area, negating its use.

I understand the "wind in your hair", I've driven verts before and loved it. But if you want that experience you get a vert, you don't get a sedan, fill it with kids and then open everything and create turbulence :confused. But I guess rereading the post, maybe the OP misrepresented the car as a sedan!

Thanks for the "air-planation", Critter...makes sense to me!
Maybe one behind both the front AND back seats would solve the problem!? :eyecrazy Just kidding!

BTW, sorry, mryakan, about the "sedan" slip!
