To use the rear seats, you've got to manually remove the deflector and store it in the trunk. Porsche's design is brilliant as the wind deflector is electrically deployed from behind the rear seats. It retracts back behind the seats when it's not being used so that the rear seats can be used. (see at 1:40 here).
I am aware of that.

Owner of two E36 verts with wind deflectors since 2006.
