LimeLing Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Greetings, everyone. I want to purchase a wind deflector for my 2010 A207 E-Class Cabriolet. I see many possibilities in the aftermarket priced between £150 and £400. Has anybody encountered purchasing the non-Mercedes alternatives? I will not using it often (England lacks sufficient sunshine), so minimising expenditure is preferable; nonetheless, I want to avoid purchasing an inferior product that rattles or does not fit properly. I would appreciate any input before I proceed. Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adv3nture Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I see that with the hood retracted and the wing above the windscreen extended, the wind is not very strong. Conserve money and purchase takeout meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericaMonster Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 That aligns with my reasoning. 😁😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thenornpo Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Acquired a new item from Holland on eBay for around £150. Very robust; it does not fold into quarters, just in half. It provides assistance, but being overseas offers me further reassurance that any lightweight goods in the rear seat will not be displaced. Would I repurchase? Affirmative.

Syncephe Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 Is it possible to keep this in place while the roof is retracted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeLing Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 I do not believe it obstructs the roof during closure; the locators are positioned in the seatbelt holders, and the pins are located within the range of motion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericaMonster Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I consistently maintain the roof either up or down during the duration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosaStyle Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I presume the non-folding variants are aftermarket, and as they do not fold, they will not fit in the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenjibb Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 I had both; the deflector can be elevated continuously without obstructing the roof. It is much quieter and more efficient than using the windscreen deflector. A foldable item will fit in the trunk, but it will limit further storage capacity. The Mercedes deflector that collapses into quarters is much more compact and convenient for storage. I purchased my authentic item on eBay, used it for six years, and then sold it for the original price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
