15 Windblox Windblocker Advantages
Compress Advantages
|
#1 - Lifetime Warranty
|
#2 - No Squeaks or Rattles |
#3 - Easy Installation |
Windblox is the
only manufacture warranting against buffs and abrasions. Your
windscreen will be clear for the lifetime of your automobile. |
Windblox windblockers are securely held in place, with no
movement between the windscreen and your car. This prevents
annoying high pitch squeaks and rattles when driving with your
windscreen |
This wind deflector is most simple to install. A 12-year
old niece of a staffer installs these windscreens in two
minutes. |
|
#4 -
Does Not Induce Abrasion Against Your Car |
#5 - Does Not Yellow from
Sun Exposure |
#6 - Anti Wobble |
Windblox windstop does not rub against
your car, preventing ongoing abrasion and wear.
This is a picture from a customer's car. She purchased
a windscreen from a different vendor. After eight months
continually mounted on her car, the poor fit caused accumulated
wear against the roll hoops |
At one point, this windscreen (from another vendor) was clear. This customer lives in Texas, and had
this windscreen mounted on his car for four years, before it
became unusable.
Windblox
windscreens are guaranteed not to yellow from sun
exposure. |
No wobble. Windblox windblockers remain secure
when in use. The
windscreen does not wobble or vibration when, even
at high speeds. |
|
#7 - Made For Speed
|
#8 - Utilitizes Green Processes
|
#9 -
Laser Fabrication |
Windblox wind deflectors are rated for 150 MPH (250
KM/hr). |
All cast-off material is recycled. Base material
incorporates soybean based oils instead of all petroleum,
increasing use of renewable materials. |
All Windblox wind deflectors are cut on a 5,000 watt laser
(normal power for this process is 100 watts), providing
exceptionally clear cuts. |
|
#11 - Which is Which? |
One of these windscreens is brand new; the other is eight
years old. The old screen was borrowed from a first customer,
sold back in November of 1999 for a BMW Z8. The used windscreen
has been in active use since. The customer estimate he drives
top-down 140 days per year. He leaves the windscreen in the car
about ten months a year, taking it out and storing it during the
raining months of December and January. Can you tell which
windscreen has a thousand days top-down use and 3000+ days
mounted in the car, and which windscreen is brand new?

|
#12 - Stronger Material |
Comparing
the strength of Windblox's material, three patio
bricks are placed across a 36 inch span upon materials used by
other manufactures:
 |
 |
 |
|
#1) This is a sheet of ordinary 1/4 inch (635 mm)
acrylic. The deflection bottoms out, more than three
inches (7.6 cm). This is the
windblocker
material used by other
vendors. |
#2) This is a sheet of 3/8 inch (953 mm) of
polycarbonate acrylic. Despite being thicker than
Windblox, this wind restrictor
still deflects 50% more; the deflection is
just over 1.5 inches (3.8 cm). |
#3) Windblox's material, 1/4 inch thick, deflects
less than 7/8 inch (2.2 cm) under the same
weight. |
|
|
#13 - Edging Cut The Right Way To Cut |
 |
 |
 |
|
#1) A customer traded in this particular windblocker,
purchased from another vendor. This windscreen was
fabricated upon a shop table router. The cut and
workmanship is inconsistent, with nicks and gouges. |
#2) This wind restrictor was cut upon double sided AR
Polycarbonate acrylic, using a CNC router. While the
cut is smooth, machinery marks are prominent. |
#3) Windblox's
windscreens are cut using a five thousand watt laser,
ensuring a crystal clear cut with a polished finish. |
|
|
#14 - Resists Fractures |
#15 - 15 Year Scratch
Resistant Rating |
 |
 |
|
A customer
experienced this fracturing with a wind
restrictor purchased
from another vendor. From the continual movement
and stresses, combined with
inferior material, micro-stress cracks emerged. These
cracks grew over time, until the windscreen became unstable. |
This picture
is a close-up from of a slot from a customer's
Windblox BMW Z8 windstop, continually mounted on his car since
November 2002. Since Windblox uses the
best available material, it wears well over time,
remaining crisp and clear. (Photo taken June 2009.) |
|
15 Years
Windblox windscreens are constructed from materials
providing a 15 year scratch and mar resistant rating.
Against daily and constant use, your windscreen remains
clear throughout its life. |

FAQ: |
|
FAQ: |
 |
|
1) Can you leave the
windscreen in place while raising and lowering the top? Yes, you can.
Many customers simply leave the windscreen mounted on their car most of the
year.
2) Does the
bottom of the windscreen rub against the car?
No, the fastening lifts the windscreen up off
the bottom to eliminate bottom-side wear, and is
cushioned against the car to preventing
abrasion.
3) Could the wind
deflector chatter when in use? No, the fastening system holds the windscreen
very secure to the car. This windscreen is tested to 150 MPH.
|
4) Is this difficult to
install? Definitely not. Elementary age children install these
windscreens.
5) What is
the difference between acrylic and lexan? Acrylic is about 18x
stronger than glass; Lexan is about 61x stronger.
|
6) Could the
windblocker
induce any sort of wear? Never. Since the windscreen is secure in
place, there is no movement between the windscreen and the car, so there is
no wear.
7)
Doesn't acrylic or lexan yellow in sunlight? Some manufactures
with less quality might, but not Windblox.
8) How
long does this wind restrictor last? With regular care and handling, your
windscreen will last the lifetime of your car.
9) Is the tint an
overlay film? No, the tint is infused in the material, which
resists scratches and abrasions.
10) Should I
get a tint? Tinting is a color
preference, so it really depends your individual
taste; however, the smoke tint is our favorite,
and what we use.
11) Does
the windstop cause
glare at night? No. First, the windscreen is made of a
specialty glare resistant material. Second, the windscreen mounts at a
slight angle, to further cut glare.
12) Does this
windscreen interfere with the boot cover?
No, it does not.

Lexan Upgrade: +$15
Examples of Lexan applications
This option is for 1/4 inch abrasion
resistant Lexan material. This material is a virtually indestructible material suitable
for high impact applications, such as bullet resistant windows, boat
windshields, lightweight bicycle gear sprockets, etc. This is
abrasion resistant lexan, with a 10 year manufacture's warranty, and does not yellow with sun exposure. Paradoxically, lexan is actually a soft
material, so this AR Polycarbonate is specially formulated lexan designed to resist minor
scruffs, wear, and constant exposure to the elements. You will come to very much appreciate this
abrasion lexan offered only by Windblox for years after your
purchase.
|
Invisible Straps: +$10

Comparing black strap to clear
strap |
-
The clear vinyl is thick, tough and
pliable; will not weaken or become brittle or yellow with age. This is the same
material used on garden sheds, boat windows, golf carts, and other abusive-prone
environments.
-
These clear straps makes your
windblocker look invisible.
-
Straps
threaded with touch nylon thread.
-
All straps are two inches wide.
Standard straps are black, of nylon webbing. The invisible straps of of
clear vinyl.
-
Strong material. Each straps
by itself is rated to carry the pressure of the windblocker, so having multiple
straps is over-engineering.
