Genuine smart wind deflector for Cabriolet - Smart Car of America Forums : Smart Car Forum

NCC1701 · 08-12-2008, 11:15 AM

I'm wondering if anyone here has the wind deflector and what they think about it.

The only photo I've seen of it doesn't tell me much about its design or mounting.

Is it effective? Worth the price? Got a better picture of it to show? Where/how does it mount? Where to buy in the US?

TIA

What the heck is going on? No posts about the wind deflector in about a year, and all of a sudden they're everywhere! - sheureka

I thought it was a sweet Idea. But, I think if you put up the windows when going over 50 the wind is not an issue.

1.) Yes

2.) Yes
(2a.) It should have been OEM equipment on US-spec cabrios, AFAIC.)

3.) Check my photo gallery

4.) It has two holes in the top corners of the leatherette side panels that slip over hooks on the euro-spec roll bar cover and two webbing loops in the lower corners that hook over plastic hooks in the interior side panels, near where the roll bar is attached to the inside of the car. It stretches pretty tight between the four attachment points. (or it should, anyway)

5.) Smart Madness

I installed the windscreen with the bungee method and it pulled the driver side gear cover off after 2 weeks. This is the part with the lower hooks attached. Pressure from the bungee and the windage must have been too great.
