OEM wind deflector found from Usel

I have a complete kit for sale, everything you need for £200 delivered. You need to change the front half of the hoops because they have holes in for the brackets to fit.
You can remove your front hoops and drill out the holes as they are marked on the inside of where to drill.

All the broken bits have pointy arrows, whilst this may seem a lot of broken clips I would challenge you to remove it after fitting it
The 2 rear halves of the roll over hoops have marks from where a roof has passed over them. These two pieces are the ones that don't have the holes or indents for the wind deflector so you could use your two current rear halves if they are in better condition. There is only one broken clip on the front half of the hoop cover with the holes for the bracket. There are no broken clips of the other front half.
The main wind deflector is in perfect condition.

Yes you could, you would need to remove the front half of the hoop cover. The front half is the piece that comes off first. There is a circle marked on the inside where you should drill.
Just be aware, that ebay ad I listed didn't appear to include the screw and screw covers. Which are quite expensive.

£6.46 per screw and £2.50 for a plastic cover! This is each!
No idea where you would source the boot screws and the plastic wall plug type doodah. The boot screws are shorter.
You could use screws from b&q but I don't know what pitch the thread is.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Usel (Rob) for the wind deflector kit.
It arrived next day delivery, very well packaged and in great condition.
He helped me with some basics and pointed me to a fitting thread.
After a bit of initial faf getting the old hoops off it’s all done.
Cheers Rob.
