Sunroof Wind Deflector
Sunroof Wind Deflector
Anyone who has the MINI brand sunroof wind deflector, does it significantly reduce wind noise at highway speeds when the sunroof is open? I tend to not use my sunroof unless I am on a slow cruise because of the noise.

Laurie has one, she says it makes it quieter........but I got the impression from the way she said it that it doesn't help all that much. Since it just clips on, maybe someone who isn't using theirs at the moment would let you borrow it and try it?
I have an aftermarket one that is held on by sticky tape - forever apparently - that doesn't do shite........

I do have the MINI one. I think it helps alot. I have removed it and the difference is very noticible. It has a little deflecter on it so you can actually divert air into the car if you want. It is attached by two clips that are screwed down and has a rubber seal. It is no problem to take it on and off. I am very happy with it.

Searched for the Weathertech deflector and found that Weathertech was unable to ship. Their price was $59.95. Looked at several other sites advertising the product and their prices ranged from $70.00 to 75.00. Searched some more and found it here and ordered it for $59.95: http://www.properautocare.com/ FWIW.
Thanks, Supercooperinfo. The Weathertech one looks sleeker and more attractive to me. The clip attachment seems better than other after market deflectors also. I might try one for $60.

Got the WeatherTech one. Easy to install, reduces wind noise and doesn't look too bad although it alters the MINI's smooth roofline. I think it was worth the $60.
