Also one last question are the parts the same on both sides? the diagram implies that there is only one part so I assume its reversible ..

Yes they press in. I had to carefully drill a piece of the old broken one out. They are also designated right and left. 2 diff part numbers. Hope this helps

top down high speed run

My defletor came loose on the driver's side and started to flap during a high speed top run.....was lucky enough to reach back and grab it before it flew away.

I can tell right away that the lever is broke but I am not sure about the roll bar receptacle.....anyway I need a fix pretty quick




hmmm perhaps not the best photos. So I take it one can replace the levers quite easily and the roll bar suff?? The fit on the driver side is loose when I force it up and down by hand even after locking it...with broken lever and holding it in place

I used three dabs of black silicone (top left, top right, bottom center) to permanently attach the windscreen. It also eliminates the annoying rattles that develop as the fasteners age.

I used the same technique for the headrest grilles after nearly losing one of them on the freeway.
