Title: Cabriolet Wind Deflector 18/01/2011
Post by: AdamB on 03 July 2004, 19:06
I have had a few PM, emails, and conversations with fellow cabrio owners about the wind deflector I have.
I have dug out the original invoice and am now able to post the details for all those who asked.

I'm pleased you like it, and you will notice quite a difference when you drop the roof on open roads and motorways.

There is one here (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40199&item=7912285572&rd=1) on ebay, going fairly cheap by the looks of it.

Its just a mesh that clips on and off within seconds. It doesnt make the cab feel any different when the roofs down, but stops the wind buffet.

Having seen Darren Robinson's Cab and Adam's at a couple of shows, I decided to make the leap and buy my own. I got the 'XL' version (no not a cab on steroids!!) but it has a cover the goes across the back seats as well as up the back of the front seats. It effectively makes the car a two seater.
The product is well made and is easily put in place. I leave the mesh up constantly and the rear seats can then have things on them and out of prying eyes.
By the way... I have a spare so if anyone is interested PM me and we could meet up at the Campaign Register do at Warwickshire later in the month.

I've ordered the XL version 3 weeks ago and have got it now, it's very good quality, very happy.

when you got the instructions did you get all parts of the instructions cause i got 1,2,4,5 but no part 3 :cry:

Sorry for late reply but I haven't been on the site for ages!! :sad:

I have just looked at my instructions and the Part 3 is missing from my instructions also....but I never noticed!!

I have had the top down once this year and took 'Mrs P.' out and she was very pleased that her hair didn't blow around. I still maintain that if you own a Cabby then this itwem will help enhance your driving pleasure!!

To give you some idea, the additional wind break that I had in September last year was sold within 5 minutes of my arrival at the Mk1 Gaydon meet. People were gathering around the car asking about it and 2 couples were after it in the end!! they got a bargin for £80.00

I got one of the XL ones too.... they look well and are well made and I agree that it effectively makes the car a two seater. Just for info, I can confirm that PART 3 is MISSING from my instructions too - doesne take the brains of the arch bishop to whack it in tho  :cool:
