Show me your wind deflector installs


Recommended Posts

I've got mine waiting to fit. I just want a bit of inspiration on how to best position them and how to stop them damaging the tub.

Here is a pic of mine, I dropped in the hinges and then lined up the deflector to the tub, I had some small stick on pads at the very bottom of the deflector where it touches the tub. The deflectors work well with half doors. .

Best way to stop them damaging the tub is simple - get a 2 cm long piece of clear tubing (windscreen washer fluid sprayer type), split it lengthwise and put it around the lower edge.  Invisible and simple.

Perhaps not best! This is what I did initially BUT although improved there is still worn gel coat through flexing movement of deflectors.

My temporary fix of a pad made of Duck Tape on the bodywork solved this, and has turned permanent. A clear see through pad would do job and look better.

Not the best photo angle but I had some black edging in the garage already.

Been on 3 seasons now and works a treat.
