Porsche Wind Deflector with Edge Lighting [from CAD, prototyping to finish]

I used a plastic trim removal tool from Harbor Freight to tuck the wires. Nicely done ccjazz!

Yeah, I have to re-do those wires, thanks again for the velcro/dash install idea!

I'll try to get a picture of it later on, but I actually connected mine to the rear parking lights via the bundle of wires that run through the b-pillar trim where the seat belt is mounted. Super easy to get to (tough to find the right wire in the bundle) and short. No need to run wires into the center console.

I was thinking about that, or the rear defrost wiring. I wasn't sure how I would find switched power controlled by the ignition switch position so went with the phone plug option. Wanted to avoid drilling holes too.

I'd like to see how you wired that up.

I got mine installed today, the process went very well. Thanks to all for the tips. I went with the phone plug under the centre console, it was easy to get to and easy to find. Also happy with my colour selection Fred, your product adds a lot and modernizes the look significantly!

Wow! That looks fantastic

Fred,

I know I promised to cool my heels but I'm jealous of all these guys installing their sky breakers. Can you update?

Thanks, Larry

That is what I would call a perfect color match! Nice work

[amitmishra4]

That is absolutely sweet looking! First one I have seen in yellow, great match.

Guys. I have a 2002 Boxster S and was looking for a center wind screen.
Where was this purchased? A little information please.

The link is buried back several pages. Possibly a long wait (and Im ahead of you ) as the maker is an enthusiast and gets orders filled as his personal time permits...

Illuminated Wind Deflector Kit for Boxster 986 - English

Welcome to the 986 forum.

I finally found some time to install my Skybreaker. I mounted the control dial inside the manual holder under the steering wheel, which I never use, and routed the wiring alongside my rear speaker install up the passenger side of the car (under the dash and sill). The cable is just long enough to reach. I tapped into the center console phone plug for power.

The most annoying part was cutting a hole in the windscreen frame, and then milling out a groove for the wire (still a work in progress). I drilled a small hole, and filed the rest of the opening, to avoid damaging the frame. I also had some trouble getting the Skybreaker into the frame. It's a very tight fit, but I finally got it.

Fred, amazing work, and thanks for accommodating my modified design! I can still see clearly out my rear view mirror, but get to enjoy the 'Porsche' as well.
Thank you!

I also really (really) like the Amber kits. Can't wait to see one of those illuminiated on the Boxster car! I might have to swap mine. Also, anyone who wants to switch their LED color I have plenty left here and happy to snail-mail them over for the price of shipping (something like $8 loll). Sml envelop... unbelievebly expansive I know. An option for you guys.

ALL RECENT ORDERS/KITS SHIPPED!!! Dropped 22 at the post office this very morning and updated your tracking no on the system. Been warned there is one-big-day delay on departure due to the massive Typhoon we recently got hit with... every jets were grounded for a good 24hrs.

I hate tropical storms... scary as hell (for a Canadian anyway). I was locked indoor for the last 2 days. Dunno how you guys live peacefully in the south of the USA lolllll geez man :/ Not too often for me thank you very much

I'll have those in the mail for you guys this coming Friday morning - give it 5-7 days for transit I'm guessing. Amber & Voilet, here they come!

I got my SkyBreaker covered in fingerprints when I was installing it in the frame. I cleaned it with Plexus (same thing recommended for plastic rear windows) and a microfiber cloth with no ill effects. Although, I will probably use water from now on, unless it gets really dirty again.

[particlewave]

Nice! Thanks for all you do, Fred!

[BoxsterPHD]

Thanks Fred, got the Skybreaker this morning and fitted this afternoon. What a top quality piece of kit! Possibly the only one in the UK (unless any fellow Brits have ordered one too). I tapped into the ash tray light and removed the bottom of the console storage unit to feed the wires through after driling a hole in the base. Unfortunately these iPhone pics do not do it justice.

I swear that I'll get some good photos one of these days. It really requires photos taken at dusk to show both the car and the wind deflector (and not in the garage ).
