W124 Cabriolet Wind Deflector

[tintinmt]

I bought my E320 cabriolet without a wind deflector and I have been keeping my eyes open ever since for a used one without success (at a reasonable price). I'm not sure I'd use it much to be honest but it 'should' have one. I then came across this:-

Schätz-Tuning | Shop | Wind Deflector W124 Convertible | Wind Deflectors Convertible

Is this very close or identical to the original?

I bought an original M-B one at the start of the year.... I would they are similar to the extent that they fit on the car the same way and work the same way but they are defo different to look at, & are probably of a different quality with the original MB item being of a better quality...

For that price I would hold out for an original item....As they do come around from time to time. Note that summer is not the best time to look for one, as this is when everyone wants one.

like Dee-124CAB, I recommend you get the original, the others are just rubbish, i brought a classic additions one years ago , it was so bad i never even used it once.

best bet of getting one is on ebay , they come up on occasion when someone sells their car and forgets they had a wind deflector in the garage.

ebay is best bet

Out of interest, if your car was specced with a deflector from new, you will have a different boot lining to those that weren't. Grooves were designed to enable the deflector to slide into the boot securely (in case you didn't know!). This picture shows the offside corner of the boot interior (not mine).

I bought one from these guys, as I'd virtually given up on finding a genuine one (I didn't pay £180 though)

I don't suppose it's Merc quality, but it works fine. Wouldn't be without it on a lengthy top down trip.

Thanks. That looks a lot like the one from, Germany (I suppose it would wouldn't it!). Now I want one even more, yet the consensus seems to be to hold out for a genuine one.

Available on eBay

I bought an original from someone in Austria who seems to be able to find original ones. At the time it cost me £185 + £15 postage and included the bag. It was in mint condition
I thought I'd "lost" mine (which I bought in 2007) and contacted him yesterday and it seems he has another one.
His eBay name is AAA.
Here is the mail I received yesterday

Hi Chris, Are you buying this yourself or saying that others should contact Rudi themselves.
Thanks, Malcolm.

I don't need another one !
So I suggest members contact Rudi themselves via his eBay ID

Having been in touch with Rudi today, there seems to have been coniderable inflation in the price since you bought yours!. Thanks for the tip anyway.
