Centre wind defelector foam pads
.....lossed one when my deflector came off at speed last month!
What the heck is the part numer for this piece.....I am sure I have seen it on eBay or? Of course now I can't source it |

Thanks....I think these would just be left and right clip sets.
I need the rectangular foam pads that go on the bottom edge of the deflector |
#10 shows as the clips for the center window... the foam pads and stuff is in that kit (you might have to phone the stealership to verify)

4th item from top of list which is the kit i referred to (click on the link and it shows you a blowup of the few parts in that kit)
Boxster 986 (1997-2004) - Wind Deflector, and Linings |
I have a wind deflector that will not COME OFF AT SPEED. Happy to share design with you and others here since we are not going to market…no time.
It takes $20 of a special plexiglass and some time. It will secure between the Wind Deflector and the padding with the Factory fasteners. It's hard to steal too, if you live in that sort of place. PM me and I'll send you the info. Also, anyone who has asked about it before we can do a tutorial if I get enough interest. Just tryin' to give back, man. |
I'd be interested also - I havent actually lost my window yet, but it would suck to see it go down the highway....
Thanks |

The deflector became loose on that side and let go....you wil hear it before it flies. I reached back and grabbed it in time |

Why not just get some 3M foam pad things for mounting posters and stuff from Walmart or your office supply cabinet? Cut it into a few thin strips and apply.

These are the pads I need. In one spot the pad is attached and in the other it has come off..

Okay what I did was get some appropriate size Wurth weather stripping from a dealership fits perfectly and takes up any slop in the latches and clips.
I found that old latches have lost all of their spring and pliability. This makes them brittle and not able to function as intended. There is a rib in the latches that must act like a cantilevered leaf spring....if it deforms or goes brittle you loose the spring loaded latching action. So now I have a nice tight wind flector that won't fly away for a while! |
Turns out I posted in the wrong section when i responded to already started thread...
I know it is an old one... but instead of creating a new one, let's add more info here. 986 561 323 00 What is in the kit? Both clips are "mobile", so rivets need to be replaced. Fine, I could use some I have at home. But one side is slightly damaged. Then, there are "clips" on the wind stop glass. Are those included in the kit? Or maybe a better question would be - any other fixing ideas? Thanks, |
