b16gnr Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 hi, i have just purchase a pair of wind deflectors with the hinges, before i start drilling holes has anybody got any helpful tips on getting the hinges in the right place? regards Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigHew Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 pop the hinges on the winscreen pillar mounts, put some masking tape along the edge of the wind deflector, offer the deflector up to the car and when you're happy with the position, mark the holes on the masking tape. I used a bit of edge trim along the bottom edge just to stop any potential rubbing and marking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vogalogue Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 I have a set of these waiting to be fitted too.. Craig, are those the Ebay ones? I offered them up and the contours didn't seem quite right.. so I um, went to the pub instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I made these from 5mm thick acrylic sheet. The design came from the Blatchat forum years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
