Mesh Wind Deflector installation??

tz1238 · 09-12-2007, 05:01 PM

I just got Mesh wind deflector for my Z4 from Ebay, but no instructions. Can anybody give me an idea on how to install this thing?

Its actually a bit of a challenge. But then again, I'm blonde. The hooks go in the obvious places, but its best to have the top partially down. Problem is that it keeps creeping all the way down as you work so you need to keep re-setting it half way.

I just leave mine up all the time as I usually have the top down at least once a month even in winter time.

I found that the hooks that go on the back are not really useful and they are a pain, I only attach the side ones (4) and it looks like it works... the one you have to install closer to the center are a pain to put in.

In my 2007, I don't even see how it's possible to attach the center ones at all.

Thanks for the info. I haven't had time to try it out yet.
