Wind Deflector (draught stop), any aftermarket solutions, or is OEM the way to go?
I have a friend that recently picked up a 2006 SLK 350, and is looking to buy a wind deflector (draught stop). From what I'm finding in research, these things go for over $600 from the dealer.
1. What is the OEM part number
2. Any online retailers recommended to find the best price?
3. Are there any aftermarket solutions that are recommended?
My friend is hoping to not spend $600 for a wind deflector, so any help in finding a solid solution will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.

3 choices for wind deflector
We just got a 2008 SLK 350 and so far I have seen 3 choices:
1. OEM all netting, $170 online
2. OEM plexiglass and netting $650
3. Wind Restrictor, plexiglass that bolts onto existing threads. $240 and up depending on options
