Extended Wind Deflector question...how can I stabilize it?

preilly44 · 03-26-2007, 03:12 PM

Last year I purchased a full size wind deflector off Ebay and it didn't come with anything to stabilize the top of it. From time to time it vibrates at the top and I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to keep it from moving? It moves less than a 1/4" but that is just enough to rub.

Thanks in advance!

Do a search on the internet titled Ricks signature accessories or Ricks s2000 custom parts and you will find a section on wind deflector bumbers instalation guide. Keep it between the lines!!

does this really help with the wind inside? i have seen "ricks", but didnt know if they really worked. if they do work, how much better is it?

thank you.

I dont know about my s2k i have the stock one but i had a Boxster with a tall one which was also stock, I took it off one day and it made a huge differance.

It makes a pretty big difference sound wise. Windwise, for me, it doesn't do as much as it would do if I was a little shorter. I have the seat fully extended back as far as it can go so I get wind from behind the window more than in between the seats.

It does make a difference and is worthwhile though. I highly recommend Rick as all of his products are top notch.

thank you for your guys's feedback. yea, gina's hair will always be a problem. but my hair is short, and i use gel. only the top back gets screwed up while on the highway for over 20 mins. ill tell you one thing though..... i keep missing green lights from a dead stop due to the top of the windshield is right in the view of the stop lights and i cant see them. i gotta crouch down a tad LOL!!!

My wife and I both have the same problem with traffic lights (she's as tall as me). As for the hair blowing in the wind, nothing makes me smile more than Jan's long blond hair wrapped around her head. . .looks like cousin IT in a tornado. . . try one of those big pink flowery handkerchiefs like on "The Graduate". Oh, that was a Fiat, wasn't it?

Hi guys ! I just got a used S2000 year 2004, Japan spec. How do I get the wind deflector upright? Too bad, it didn't come with the owner's manual provided, so I can't figure that out. Any button to activate the wind deflector? Thanks.

It should be hinged. Just pull it up.
