Wind Deflectors

Hello

Has anyone had any experience installing a wind deflector on a series 3 Roadster. I note a couple of companies offer them and that they are relatively cheap. Any views please.

Many thanks for the prompt message. Sounds very promising as an add on to the car. Do you remember where you sourced your deflector from.

I have this one on my S2. It came from the UK, from a gent on this forum - can’t recall his name, though.

Has a nice LED stop light built in. I changed the mounting to connect directly to the folding top, so it would likely work on your car if you did the same.

I brought a deflector for my series 3 from classic additions at one of the shows. It seams to be a standard deflector but with brackets for the e-type that needed to be bolted into the hard top mountings but I found a couple of issues. the hardtop bolts are coned to a degree so did not hold the deflector very well at all even with a number of washers, changing the hem to bolts helped but the deflector was to far forward for my seat position. I ended up making some modifications to the brackets to move it as far back as possible, just touching the hold frame.

The minimal testing I have done it makes a large difference to the wind in the cabin although it has not been given a full test by the wife.

Probably from Dave Kerr. I have one of his on my Series 1 and I wouldn't even consider taking a road trip without it. HUGE improvement WRT wind buffeting.

That is indeed the guy. It is a nice piece.
