Plastic over Windshield

[rfritz1]

New owner here - almost 30 days, and have not figured out what is the piece of black plastic on the exterior just above the windshield in the center? What is it's purpose?

[NCC1701]

My guess is its decorative. I'd had mine for a few days before I noticed it.
Anyone else got a better idea?

Do you own a cabrio? Are you referring to the wind deflector?

Karl,
You can see it in this picture of my car ... in the center just above the windshield.

At least, I think that's what rfritz1 is talking about.

Yes, I have a ForTwo Passion Cabrio. Someone thought it may be for the rain sensor wipers, but I do not have the Comfort Package. It is about 3" long and sticks up no more than .5". Mysterious.

You have a cabrio and that is the wind deflector...

That little bitty thing is a wind deflector?

OIC, your colors!

[Karl Roth]

Yes that bitty thing makes a big difference

Since this works so well for deflecting the wind, smart should also design a similar device called the "question deflector."

Well, I hope I never feel that I'm smart enough to quit asking questions.
I got some doozies today. But, I'm getting used to it.
