Wind Deflector - Measurement Please?

My local dealers do not have the wind deflector in stock. Before I buy one I want to make sure it will fit. I am very tall and have the seat reclined way back.

Can someone who has one measure how far back the headrest and be from the from wind deflector mount? In other words, if you recline the seat, how far back can the back of the headrest be in relation to the front round hole for the wind deflector.

From pictures it appears there is some room to go a little back, but I can figure out how far.

Thanks in advance -- I really appreciate someone doing this for me!

P.S. We love this car.

I'm 6'4" and like to lean back a good bit and still have room. It will hit if you lean the seat back a lot, something beyond 30 degrees off vertical.

Ok, now I feel short.

Putting the seat all the way back and then tilting the seat till it just touches the deflector left exactly 33" from the top face of the steering wheel (the wheel itself, not the middle) and the closest part of the head rest to the wheel. Wasn't sure precisely the best way to measure, hope that helps.
