Is there a product that helps deflect the rock that might hit the windshield?

You aren't going to "deflect" a rock. There are 2 or 3 threads on this and since they are an object with some mass and not subject to the movement of the air like a bug, once a rock takes aim, changing the air stream won't change the trajectory of the rock. Upright windshields simply get hit more and get hit more directly.

If you drive with the windshield down, you won't have any problems with chips.

This is an excellent strategy. I wear my Stilo helmet with a few tear offs on the visor. 1 tear off for every 30 minutes of anticipated driving.
