I have been asked not to use the words "Wind Baffle" when describing the SSR wind blocker I made and have been promoting. I wasn't aware that is actually a product name that has been used by a company that makes a generic wind break that fits all convertibles. I will of course respect that request and not use those exact words together again in any posting. I have also changed the wording in my previous post to "Wind Blocker". I would like to point out I am not in the business of making Wind Blockers for all vehicles only SSR's. I happen to own an SSR and in my opinion it is a very special vehicle that deserves to have a custom made custom fit wind block. One that looks like it was made for the SSR by matching the lines of the vehicle. I developed what I believe is a perfect match for the SSR that works great and looks great without looking like an aftermarket add on. From all the positive feedback I have received from those who have purchased one I have achieved that goal. Now Im hoping I can get all of you on this forum to help me come up with a name "SSR Wind Blocker" seems so dull. Here's how it will work, just put your creative minds to work and post what you think would be a good name. I will take what I feel are the 3 best and start an opinion poll and let everyone on the forum vote on the name. After 1 week who ever gets the most votes will win one of my SSR Windblocks for free a $240.00 value. I will even pay the shipping cost. So c'mon lets have some fun with this!

Name

Well a chance for a free "what ever we're going to call it"!
I'll throw some quick ones in here, then I'll go home this weekend and really think about it.

How about:

SSaiR Blocker

SSaiR Break

SSaiR Deflector

"The kind of Wind Break GM should have made!" -- maybe that's more of a slogan.

Top Down Comfort Enhancer -- maybe I need some more sleep :lol

Wind DepreSSR
Air DepreSSR

Some others came to mind about "breaking wind", but probably shouldn't

Ohhhh, I love that one, "Breaking Wind", that actually took me out of my depression today. Thanks! You sure have a lot of "intellectual horsepower". Heard that on the "Apprentice" last night.

Blocker name

How about: SSR Cockpit Wind Reducer. I built my own and really don't need another but If I win it I've got a couple of friends with SSR's and one of them might like to have it

Careful rhoebbel---Gust Buster is taken by a company making a wind proof umbrella. They will sue, I know this for a fact. Bob :nono

PS the Windbaffle mounting system has been modified so it is silent in the SSR.

Wow! There's alot of clever folks on this forum! (I'm not one of them, however :lol ). I like houtex's "Wind DepreSSR". It's clever, vehicle specific, and unlikely to cause you any copyright greif. I sure am glad I don't have to pick a winner though - lot's of great names!
