Black mesh inserts in the roll bar


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know where to get the black inserts for the windscreen that go in the roll bar (behind the seats, not the center piece)? Do they have a part number?

I should also ask how the windscreen is actually supposed to be mounted. I looked and I don't have any holes behind the seats in the roll bar. Are these some pieces that just clip on or would I have to drill holes into the roll bar?

As you can tell I am not familiar with the windscreen product at all. I just have the center glass and I would like to add the other 2 pieces. Any help with preparing the roll bar for windscreens is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

azzar0.

They just clip in:

Left: 986 561 583 00 01C

Right: 986 561 584 00 01C

They are around $117 each. Try ebay as they sometimes turn up there.

Can anyone post a few pictures of all the mounting hardware associated with the wind deflectors?

Eventually with and without the deflectors mounted, etc.

Just the sides, not the center glass, I already have that in.

I'm trying to understand how it works and what can be done to replicate this functionality without spending $250 for a couple of plastic clips...

Thanks,

azzar0.

Im kinda lost here but If u already have the wind screens(1&2), clips are already built on to it,,,just click them on unless your tabs are broken.

I figured out that what I bought is actually not the wind screens, but rather an addition to the windscreens, made of plastic, to further reduce the wind in the cabin. I other words, I do need 1 & 2, and then add these things to the wind deflectors.

I apologize for the confusion.

Thanks for all your help,

azzar0.

Exactly - that's the one!

I got too excited when I saw the price and didn't read the description carefully...

Thanks,

U see the ghetto mounting screw at the bottom? thats how they get mounted!

Yea... The seller is very nice and he'll let me return the parts.

Meanwhile I am going to try to build my own wind deflectors.

Thanks,

Well, I built my own. They're not as thick as the factory ones, but they do match my grills. I may be able to attach the Lexan covers to these.

Here are some pics:

I used wire mesh from Lowe's. I drew the shape based on the inside of the leather cover. As you can see, I used the 3 screws as mounting points for the mesh:

pretty nice! azzoro . It would look better if they were black?

Yea, I am going to re-do them using fiberglass mesh instead. The holes are smaller and the color is charcoal. I found a nice mesh on the net with hexagonal holes, much like the OEM wind stop, but I will give this one a try first.

Thanks,

azzar0.

I didn't like the industrial look of the mesh I used for the grills so I re-made the windscreens.

These are truly a work of art (I think :P ) and better than the originals because the holes are much smaller and it reduces the air flow. They also cover the bottom more, to further reduce air traffic.
