I am thinking of ways to reduce wind noise while driving on the highway. It's not too bad right now, but I would like to improve it so that I can have a conversation on a long drive having to raise my voice quite so much.

As I see it, reducing wind noise sort of has 2 components:
1. With the windows closed - because the windows don't seal perfectly, there is still significant noise coming into the car
2. With the windows open or partially open - i guess this would be buffeting?

Of course sealing the windows as well as possible will help with #1, but not #2. So I was thinking, is there a solution that helps both? Basically something that deflects the wind so it goes around the car instead of trying to get into the cabin.

Has anybody tried something like this?:

If so, did it help? Can you recommend a brand? I'm well aware it will probably not look great, but I can live with that.

I have Weathertech window deflectors on my Cayman and Cayenne, but they're not available for our antique 914's. I don't see how they could be added with the configuration of the windows and removable top. . I don't consider the wind noise so objectionable on the Interstates, but I really don't do much long distance driving, except to Okteenerfests! This is another reason I can't understand why anyone would waste money for a high end sound system in a teener! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
