Idiots guide for oem wind deflector please !

[flybobbie]

Looks like wrong brackets.
Don't look like mine.
RealOEM part no.s 54347200805/54347200806

The part no's on yours are different.

Listed as $2.50 (That will £10 each in the UK). Probably the cheapest part on the car!

The windshield looks right from memory. Will have a look tomorrow.

don't now if this is the right part - but it seems like it to me !

Used these guys to get my stubby and it seems genuine enough

Amazon.co.uk

And half the price of your e-bay ones

Thanks Jasey, that's where I got mine from...It would appear they are not the correct parts :evil:

 

[flybobbie]

Toonmal, your link correct parts.
Bit pricey as Realoem as them at $2.50 in the states, must be mistake.

I checked my E-Bay history to see where I bought mine, but doesn't go back that far.

Thanks flybobbie...Strange difference in prices..I've found this in UK, a bit more like your prices, so I think I'll give them a go fingers crossed :?

Easy when you have the correct parts

Hello folks, Mr Thicko reporting for duty !! As you will gather, still no luck, so a couple of questions:
Is the screen fitted fully opened , or half open?
Once fitted, how do you remove it?
I've attached some pics below...On the first one, why is the arrow pointing to the small metal button? (In the screen slots for the brackets)
The other 2 pics, can you just confirm they are the correct bits...Ta

Hi, Ive just bought a wind deflector and have seen sent fixing brackets the same as in your photos, I assume they are wrong?

It only fits one way around and then clicks into place as you slide it down the brackets.

If it won't lock in just reverse it

It does fit both ways. Bing, Jan and me we debating which way round it should actually be fitted.

OP, If you look by the runners there is a L & R marked to indicate though.

on an e89 it only fits ONE way. Guide the bottom half into the curved slots then press the top down until it clicks in place

It will fit both ways but not securely.
When we bought ours it had been put in the wrong way round and we almost lost it on the motorway, luckily it blew into the car instead of out.

Was horrified to see how much the OE deflector costs. £300+. And it don't look unbreakable.
