I have put my wind deflectors on Stewart.
In part, it was for DaveW to get a photo for his book.
However, although they are good and do work, the interference with the sidescreens is a right pain.
Is it the way I have put them on, or is it not possible to open the doors fully with them fitted? Weird.

I fitted some but removed them as they were a real pain obstructing the doors/sidescreens. Subsequently replaced them with some (more expensive) ones that fit inside the sidscreens - no obstruction at all now!

My doors seem to open OK with the sidescreens on but they do push the deflectors out and then when I get back in, I have to reach over and fold them back and ask Rach to do the same They are definitely a pain with sidescreens on but I hardy put them on - I did the deflectors to help driving without sidecreens Andy at Lifes has made his wind deflectors removable with a long vertical pin that goes through the blocks I might have a photo somewhere - I'll look and post if I have it

Stewart, that long pin idea is appealing. My deflectors are the same as yours and I took them off for the winter as sidescreens stayed on. The easy removal would mean they could be lifted off if sidescreens were in use. I have looked at trying to fit them inside the sidescreens (seen cars with that fitting) but the pins look simpler. The wing mirrors also feature in fitting. My passenger one was a different shape.

I'm guessing it must have a thread on the end or a small split pin to hold it in
Can't remember

Presumably you wouldn't need a long pin. Two short ones which dropped through the the top of the bracket would do the same job....
