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.

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,

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 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.

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.

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.

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…
