True! That is why I bought one second hand for a fraction of the new price. Just need to find the two little deflectors that sit inside the roll hoops now.Busterboo wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 12:52 amIt is very good, though.Silverstar wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 9:33 pm Thanks for the clarification, if only there was an OEM version of the OE wind deflector since the OE deflector is so freaking expensive!

The high price of OEM is why I went for a Lexan sheet and some Velcro straps. Lots of sellers on eBay and Amazon for the plastic sheet ones in clear or tint.
Works a charm & easy to see through.

Seen the Lexan sheets but wouldnt like having velcro straps wrapped around my hoops, even the clear velcro straps.

Mine has the wind deflectors in the headrest hoops but I didn't get the larger deflector that goes inbetween, should it have come with it or is it normal to buy them separately and do I need it with having the headrest ones?

The wind break was an option from new, has your car got the brackets on the hoops to locate one? If it has then a previous owner has probably asset stripped it before selling
They make a sizeable difference over just the hoop inserts

Thanks Rob, I'll have a look at the weekend, can't get to the car at the moment, too much junk in the way.

Apart from keeping my wig on, the other big advantage of the OE deflector is stopping me being blinded by headlights from behind. So, it's in the car all the time.

Yes, it does have the brackets on the roll hoops.
Unfortunately the original owner doesn't know where the wind deflectors is though .
Looks like I'll be on the hunt for one
Thanks again Rob
