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

[Nine8Six]

Tony, Amit, looking cool guys and welcome! That cold white looks class

I also got mine installed only this last Sunday afternoon, forever red! Love the new coated panel... I can actually wash it without having to polish it after lollll

Dunno about you guys but I had a massive static issue with mine right after install but that seem to be completely gone now. It discharged itself after a few hours of driving thankfully. So if you experience the same, put it on and drive drive drive, and drive!!!

Looking like mine has just cleared customs, any one who has already installed would you care to share some pictures on the wiring?

I have some pics somewhere also. I ran my wire along the driver's side door sill to a fuse tap. I mounted the rheostat next to the document holder under the steering wheel.

Look further back I posted pics of wiring install

Here are a couple of pictures from my install.



You can barely see the wire heading under the sill.

A shot of my Skybreaker taken in my garage. I've thought all along that I'd try to shoot it at dusk (in a less cluttered environment!), but now I think doing it near dawn when the light is diffused might work better. Sorry this has taken so long, Fred, but it's a bit of a bugger to shoot. The Porsche crest needs to have a darker background behind it, of course. Also, I didn't bother cleaning it before taking this image, so need to tend to that when I try shooting it outside. Only other comment - when I "turn up the volume" full blast, there's a lot of visual static in the deflector itself. Not sure that'd be the case with the blue or red ones.

Is there a more convenient source of power where- by you could locate the rheostat at the roll bar firewall area and avoid visible wires?

Defrost hard window or speaker box power?

Shot at dawn. Ran into issues with depth of field/focus. Aaaaarrggghh!

Just installed the new one

I installed mine the other day too. Version 1.0 rattled quite a bit at speed, Ver 2.0 is significantly better! Thanks again Fred

Canada Post delivered today, know what I am doing this week-end

Was pleasantly surprised by the arrival of my windscreen in today's mail (I didn't think we were getting mail today because of the Fourth of July Holiday being observed today)...

Took longer to remove the broken clip (the stub was stuck in the hole where it snapped off) than it did to do the actual install. And I think it looks pretty damn awesome

Looks good... How did you get the adjustment know inside the cubby like that? I also wired mine to the ashtray light and fed the wire for that up under the trim but I have the adjustment knob just hanging over the side of the cubby which I do not like...

I pulled off the side panel on the console, drilled a small hole into the cubby, guessing at bottom height. Fed both wires through the hole. Fed the feed wire behind park brake trim into the ashtray area. Cut feed wire at length for ashtray light, and after the white end was connected, coiled up extra wire and stuffed it behind the seat belt post carpet.

I pulled the side panel off (never noticed those came off) and just ran the wire behind the side panel into the bin rather than drill a hole. Seems to work much better than just hanging the wire inside over the top as I had done before ....Thanks
