I have had a stretch-net in my car since 2007, and I ride top down 12 months a year in Quebec, it works great at keeping out the wind. The difference between the stretch-net and the Windblocker SE is how it attaches at the bottom, The Stretch-net's attachment is easier and faster, and allows for more movemet of the seats. I have seen both, and the stretch net is much better made, the material quality is superior, and I am sure it will last much longer as well. Price wise there is a difference, but you get what you pay for. The Stretch net is made form the same material as a high quality bathing suit, and go shopping for a bikini, you will see the material is not cheap per square foot

As a follow-up, I've been using the windblox deflector, bought back sometime in July. Not using it much now, as it's raining, but I used it every day back when the sun was out. I'm happy with its performance and cost. I wanted one that allowed my two dogs to jump in-and-out of the rear seat, and I could still reach back there and grab something if needed.

Two issues...

The Windblox is better than nothing but very simply allows a TON of blowback between and around the seats and does very little besides cutting down on wind noise, versus actual wind. It very simply doesn't work anyplace near as well as more complete solutions.



The Windblocker SE doesn't fit the bigger Head Rests of the 2013.

It does work a lot better than the Windblox though...

agreed on all counts... used the Windblocker SE a lot this summer and leave on all the time... unfortunately it does not give too much and removal is required if you want to fold down front seat more than a few inches that maybe the spandex material would be better but added cost... for my budget and effectiveness I am happy. I missed it immediately (wind & noise) when I did take it off so just leave it on all the time now.

Find a lot of posters have vested interest in their own products so have to consider this too...

On the windblocker se model, I see another website sells a similar mustang windscreen, a little less, with a little better policy. Anyway, it's one more option to consider. I like the OEM screen too, but not it's cost!

The stetch-net will fit on mustang 2013 because the material is stretch.
Anyway, windblocker SE has been copied from the stretch-net but they use material that could cracks under the sun.

There's a spring special on windblocker strech-net for spring, 199$ + 20$ shipping. You won't have to remove your windblocker to get to the backseat.

I used the Windblox all this summer. It works well in reducing the wind, but it looks lousy and is a pain in the neck to store. I paid $145.60 including shipping and a cleaning cloth. I also bought a black mesh wind deflector from Rakuten on line for $50. I just got around to trying it and it works just as well as the Windblox and looks much better. It also collapses into a small flat package that fits into an included fabric case. It easily fits in the trunk, which the Windblox does not. It also allows you to fold the seats all the way forward to get into the back seat. The Windblox does not allow you to fold the seats more than a small amount, which makes it difficult to get into the back seat.
