Stupid Question Alert - How to fold Wind Deflector away???

[Cooper S Dan]

Just picked up a enw Wind deflcetor, put it together ok but can't put it back down...

Any help - I know this is a stupid question but the instructions are crap!!!!

It's a tricky thing to explain, but Rakey managed it well here...

Any questions, just ask... I know how to do it in theory - just explaining it is tricky

I posted this message and then went back downstairs and spent another 10 minutes scratching my head, then read the instructions in the manual and all of a sudden it popped out and i could fold it...

i feel stupid now !

No problems, it you managed to do it without pinching your skin somewhere you did well

looks like i did altight then...

i honestly couldn't believe how much hard work i was making of it though! Oh well, it's in now and I know how to take it down

Is that what you do btw? Just keep it in and only take it out when you have passengers going in the back?

I hardly ever carry rear seat passengers so mine is in pretty much all the time....

On the odd occasion though when we're going three up (never four - that's just plain impossible!) I just whip it out and stow it in the boot.

yeah same here, so i'll just leave it in all of the time, will save messing about when we do get to put the roof down.

i've bought it for my gf to be honest, cos she's the one who gets blown about - hair everywhere, eyes watering... looking forward to trying it out though cos i've heard there is a big big difference...

HUGE difference

Best thing to do, is drive along with the windows up and wind deflector in (but folded), then reach back and click it up. You'll immediately then notice the difference.
