Where do you stow your wind deflector?

I am currently keeping it in the "spare tire" compartment but that means to access it I have to put the roof up. I use the backseat fairly often for my 5 year old nephew, but I like to have the wind deflector on when hes not hanging out with me. Is there a better way to stow it?

Fit's perfectly under the floor cover in the trunk. Almost like it's made to fit back there. I don't have a spare tire though (uh, at least I don't think I do). Do NOT put it in the trunk over the cover and open the roof though. The dealer did it while I was there and put two dings in a brand new car. I was snickering on the inside and he turned beet red.

I rerely have more than 1 passenger but sometimes have my youngest daughter (9) in the back since she is too little to be up front!

I keep it installed because it's just me and one other person in the vehicle. If we need to drive with more than two, we take the wifes SUV.

Thanks, I got my G37Vert about a month ago and love it to death so far. I have had two 350Zs (04 and 08) and this car has all the good parts of those, and none of the bad. Black/Black is a bit hot for Texas but worth it. Got my nub antenna last week as well.

I bought a roof rack and cargo carrier to carry the wind deflector. It is a bit of a pain to put the top down as I have to stop and uninstall the roof rack and the cargos carrier I use to carry it in, but it seemed like the most logical choice. The biggest issue I have is storing the rack and cargo carrier in the back seat when they are not on the roof.

Roof rack - GREAT IDEA!
I was thinking tow hitch but couldnt find a manufacturer that makes one for the G37...

Ahhh, if you are thinking tow hitch, I could not find one that would fit either so I ended up having this welded into the trunk area of the Vert



Issue is that the top now sticks sometimes when running it up and down, but well worth the convenience and with the extra towing capacity I can use it for long hauls now too, making the Vert very versatile.
