Mine came with the factory one. Looks good, goes in and out easy and folds up in its own storage bag. Works great also.

GM wind deflector. No need to remove it to raise or lower the top.

I also have the GM Camaro wind deflector. Bought it from Shopchevyparts.com. They had the best price I found. Really reduces turbulence in the passenger area. With it installed, my wife no longer fights her hat blowing away.

So even with the deflector a hat is needed?

I purchased my wind deflector from Love the Drive. The wife loves it.

I also have the GM deflector, it's nice, but I'm still up in the air whether it was $300 nice.

My wife still uses a visor to keep the hair out of her eyes, but the deflector does a great job.

I can even smoke a cigar with the deflector!

Looking at the GM one, does it just fold in half or are you able to access either side of the rear seat?

It only folds in half for storage in the supplied bag. It has to be removed when either of the back seats are used.

i think these are about $430 from the dealer now. i suppose its too expensive to have the dealer throw this in on a deal? or maybe cut the price in half?

I used the King Penn Industries and it doesn't have to be put away if you have back seat passengers or dogs. Works like a champ and you can add any design on it that you might want.

Below is MY custom design.
