Wind Deflector

Post by r2uzenblot » Sun Oct 24, 2021 9:52 pm

My second user car doesn't have a wind deflector fitted. Has anyone any experience of these on ebay? Only £29.99....... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224523968800 ... SwQYBfN5RW

I assume you have a G29, but this photo is on an E85.
I suspect it would not fit.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

It’s also toilet as well. I can send you mine if you want. I think I haven’t thrown it away yet.

Add does say G29 although pics say different. If you look closely at the pics, it's just a bit of fabric that is held in place by sliding the pockets of both ends over the roll bars, so I suspect it would fit the G29 and look as equally shyate.
Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

    You are all right of course. Why put a string vest in between the seats. A very silly idea.......

    Did you ever get a wind deflector sorted out?
    I have been having a look around and there's not too many options around for a retrofit Wind deflector that looks stylish.
    My car was prebuilt and didn't come with a wind deflector and it is pretty blowy compared to my Nd MX5 not as bad as my A5 cabriolet but could be better.
    Going to have to go down the DIY route..... looks straightforward, what could possibly go wrong!

    Snap..... I had an ND and am in the same position as you that my car was pre registered and had no wind deflector. My MX-5 did 95% plus of it's miles with the top down and my Z4 will be the same. Unfortunately the only solution I have found is to have the factory kit retrofitted as the 'string vest' idea is not really thew right solution. I will bite the bullet and get the factory one fitted but it may be cheaper to buy the whole kit and get a local indie to fit it.

    Retro fitting wind deflector is very easy and can be done in minutes. See my post here viewtopic.php?t=124730&start=15
