A207 Wind deflector advice please.

[bh13coupe]

Hi Guys

I am looking to buy a wind deflector for my a207 e-class Cab 2010 model. I can see a few options on the after market ranging in price from £150-£400.
Has anyone experienced buying the non mercedes options? I wont be using it a lot (england isnt sunny enough) so the less i spend the better, although I dont want to buy something thats rubbish, rattles or doesnt fit properly.
Any feedback would be appreciated before I pull the trigger

thanks in advance

I find on mine that with the hood down and the wing above the windscreen deployed it's not really windy. Save the cash and buy takeaways.

Now that's my kind of logic

Got one from Holland off eBay for about £150 new. V sturdy, doesn't fold into quarters just in half. Does help but abroad gives me extra piece of mind thatbany light items on the back seat aren't going to blow away. Would I buy again? Yes.

Something like this, just wondering if you can leave up when the roof goes back up ?

Pardon our interruption...

i dont think it interferes with the roof when closing, the locators are in the seatbelt holders and the pins are inside the area of movement.

Exactly like that, yes I leave it on either up or down the whole time with either the roof up or down.

I assume the non-folding ones are aftermarket, and as they don't fold, will not fit in the boot?

Correct

I had both, you can leave the deflector up all the time, it won't interfere with the roof. It's much quieter and more effective than using the windscreen deflector.
One that folds in half will fit in the boot, but then you can't put much else in there.. The Mercedes deflector that folds into quarters is much smaller and easier to store.
I bought my genuine one on eBay, used it for 6 years then sold it for what I paid for it..
