Any specific vendor that you have experience with?
Thanks

no, most of them will be a junk yard or person selling one that was in their car. You just look at the pic and see if its good enough for you , and ask them if they give money back guarantee. . I see several, Item 331855523789,

Just curious, do people that have a windscreen like it? I don't have one but don't think i would use it anyway. Could be wrong though.

It's great for driving with the top down on the freeway. Even if it's windy, your hair stays put.

My SL did not come with one, but I bought a factory windscreen w/bag from a member here a year or two back. I used it once or twice, but its been in its bag in the basement now for more than a year.

The SL does get windier than other convertibles I own, so I may use it someday again (passengers can be less tolerant of the wind on long fast drives so it seems worth keeping around).

Cheers,
Chris

I have one in my car, because the wife likes it. I usually put it
down when I am driving by myself, but with it down, it does
block your view of the rear park sensor.

i dont use it, but then dont put the top down much either

I never use mine. I find it more turbulent with the deflector up than down. I find top down and all windows up ideal, very little wind comes into the cabin that way.

I use mine all the time. Love it!!! I wouldn't own one of these cars without it.

Where I'm located, a lot of days in the summer it is too stinkin' hot to enjoy the top down. In the Spring and Fall (best top down weather), it gets a little cold with the top down and this helps perfectly. Use it in the winter too.

Wanna sell it? :-)

Hmm, never really considered it but let me think on it overnight. I don't like the thought of giving it up but at the same time I know I won't ever use it. I actually tried it tonight with the windows down to see if that made a difference and only lasted about 2 minutes with it up

I'll post a picture of it in the morning to see if it is what you are looking for.

I would be interested...

Although I don't use it I'm not sure I want to get rid of it either. I did do some searching online and they look relatively easy to find. Here is the best deal I was able to see, it is from a 99.4% positive seller rating and the screen is $210 + $76 shipping (ships from Germany). I've attached a picture of mine so you can compare it to these. It looks like the exact same unit.

There are a bunch of different options at various prices here as well although most of them cost a fair bit more.

Nice thing about the 2003-2008 wind deflectors (I don't think there are differences in the 03-08 years and the same unit may work on later years too), is the ease of use. My OEM piece pops up and down with the flick of my wrist. I don't ever have the roll bar up when I use mine - although it can be use with the roll bar up or down.

Might find one here?

I have a brand new one, in a box.
I no longer own an SL 55, but i kept the wind screen (old one had a hole in it, I never installed the new one).
PM me and lets make a deal!

We used to call that mode of travel ‘Hairy Hardtop’. No idea why we would, but I’ve heard it a thousand times…
