Anyone on here got the Mopar wind deflector?
If so:
Was it easy of difficult to install?
Do you find it gets in the way when you reach to close the top?
Thanks!
My answers to your questions are yes, a little (I'll explain), and yes (sort of).
I purchased and installed it. The brackets they provide are pretty Frankensteinish, and in reflection, I think the one that MX5things sells is both more economical and less industrial looking. However, with the MOPAR version, you'll never have to worry about it vibrating loose. You'll have to destroy the seat back covers to break it off.
It wasn't overly difficult to install. The only part that really took time was measuring, and measuring again, and again.... before I drilled any holes. You don't want to mess up on that. The templates are pretty good, and what I did is once I taped the template in place, I used a small awl (pick) to mark the centre point for each hole to be drilled. Then I just followed the instructions and it was pretty easy. Their instructions (if you've not bought any other MOPAR parts for the car yet) look like they were designed by the same people that do IKEA assembly guides. lol
I have a high upper torso and long arms, and even so, I have to stretch a bit to push the top down into place. Unlike the factory windscreen, the lack of a centre drop in the plexy makes for a higher reach ot get over it. MX5Things version has both a straight and a centre dropped version.
Hope that helps...
