They're fine, unless you have a curry. In which case, they're no good as a wind deflector!

Oh good lord, i nearly threw up at the mental picture that presented.....

Could you get an old/damaged wind deflector and use the mesh from that for your roll hoops?

Well it seems on Ebay you can actually buy just the material, but I was weighing up the faffing about with whether it would actually be worth it in terms of improvements.
Also, as has been mentioned, if the difference is minimal I prefer the look without them filled.
It's not easy to find anyone who has experienced both set ups though.

I think you should ask your partner in crime Smartbear to strip his car down and do a detailed evaluation with and without..he seems to have plenty of time..a great garage and it would only take him a day or so to strip down /a day to rebuild it without the hairnets and then another two days or less (he should be getting good at it) then to put it back to OE spec..

Not sure quite when he became my partner in crime but yes! Excellent idea.
Maybe stop him putting all these daft comments on my perfectly sensible threads.

I sourced the hoop inserts, but I keep losing out on the actual deflectors on eBay! (Or forgetting to bid!)

The hoop inserts are a very simple part, a wire frame with the fabric clipped inside. There is a black clip across the bottom.

If someone had a wire bending machine I suspect fabrication would not be difficult.

In the name of research I could test with / without the inserts when I eventually get one.

That's funny I have had the opposite experience, plenty of central deflectors coming up on eBay all the time but the two inserts rare as hen's tooth!

Kuh ... I tell you ... the things you learn. I wondered what the thread was about, read it and then went out to see if mine had 'em. And it does.

Worth bothering about? Nah.
