Wind restrictor?

Ok so I have looked everywhere for a video showing with and without the wind restrictor (not wind screen) installed on a camaro and I couldn't find one . I big concern is reduction of wind for those in the back seat. I understand it won't get rid of the wind completely but for the coin they are charging I wold expect at least a 40%-60% reduction of wind for those in the backseat. Does anybody have any videos? Thank you

I think these are more decorative than functional. Even the factory wind restrictor only cuts the wind about 30%-40%

Even if it cuts it a little that might be enough for my kids when in the back seat. My daughter has long hair and with the to down it beats her up, if I could minimize that it could be worth it.

Here are some YouTube videos of the King Penn Windrestrictor. Unfortunately, most of them are of a parked Camaro.









Based on the feedback I've read, I never had one installed on either my Saturn Sky Redline or my Camaro as I believe they're more "show" than function.
However, the "windrestrictor" may be the only option for backseat passengers as the windscreen, doesn't allow room for backseat passengers due to how it must be installed.

Yea I was hoping for one actuating taping the difference with it on and not. Iced seen videos of one's with ones like the wind screen. Not worried about me in the front seat, just for my daughter in the back. Thank you.
