Windscreen Side Wind Deflectors

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I am thinking of fitting windscreen side wind deflectors to my car but want to get your opinion on there effectiveness. How much will they reduce buffeting in comparison to say fitting side doors.

 

Cheers

 

Pete

Deflectors do make a difference but doors make a larger one.

The problem is , if you use the standard doors from the roof set the top rail is in your eye line unless you are less than 3 feet tall.

The larger the deflector the better IMHO.

I am also interested in side deflectors as the left side blocks the mirror, does anybody have dimensions for ones that work, will they ever be a substitute for the normal side doors

I made these to fit onto my half doors.

 

They don't stop the buffetting from the back,but they do cut down what comes in around the windscreen. When used with the half roof nothing comes inside the cockpit no matter how hard its raining.

The ones we have as per post number 3 do make a big difference, and like Phil Shelton says, with half doors you are not far off the protection full doors offer but with the benefit of not being caged in.
