I've not seen these before but how about making something like this to slip over the headrests, looks neat and should work....

I don't use one as I put the windows down and think

that getting whipped with your own hair is what a convertible is all about ....[:D]

But some use BMW Z3 deflector

If it's not broke don't fix it.

I was thinking about this a while ago but then thought about it and decided it would be a waste of money, i love it when the winds blowing round me.

Regarding the question in case here: Rimmers do peddle a kit.
But personally I'd think it would be out of place in a Wedge. Definitely makes it a hairdresser's car...

Odd, I`m assuming it was a typo for "donor".

If not, you can educate me as well.[:)]

I fitted one to mine & find that it makes driving with the hood down in wet/colder weather much nicer. We drove to lemans a couple of years ago with the top down and heavy rain, but stayed totally dry. Got some funny looks though & be prepared to put the hood up in a hurry if you have to slow down

Mine was supplied from http://www.breezebreaker.co.uk/ - just make sure that you carefully measure the exact position of your seatbelt fixings since I had to get a second set made to fit the car.

I'm all for supporting Tim but all the ones available on the market look homemade (because they are) except for the old style BMW Z3 one which looks like it's made for the Triumph TR7. (They do own the name after all). It even folds flat against the carpet when tops up and easily snaps out to store in it's canvas storage bag when you want it off the car (for those hot weather, wind your hair drives).

I picked up a used one that looks new with canvas storage bag for $180, just needed the mounting brackets which I got from Monica when she drove her Spider through a fence (that's another story). She bought her's unused (for $125 I believe) through a auto wreckers from a guy who just wrecked his Z3. You just have to be patient and wait for them (like finding a good buy on a TR7).

No Monica I haven't got it installed yet! Too busy on the house reno while the wife is out looking after a not well friend. Maybe this winter?

Using Wedgie's picture here as it's a good one.

you can buy them thru Tim (much cheaper), too. But I don't like to post that kind of stuff on the forum.
