Anyone bought one of these non OEM wind deflectors:

Great bargain if it doesn't fall apart :boggled:

Hhmmmmmm - shame you can't actually see what your buying!

[dansansome]

yeah, i thought that too.

someone selling wind deflectors and shows a postage stamp size pic of one of the mounting positions, and a picture of a car.

run away, run away lol.

eBay powerseller and all that stuff must count for something???
They've got very good feedback - just checked their profile.
It's not an OEM item hence the price. Similar with replica items (alloys, etc)
Still doubtful?

I bought a genuine Audi one of E bay for £80 as new !! keep looking they are there often !

[dansansome]

i guess the feedback etc does count for something, i would just have thought that the seller could make a little more effort with the product images.

from memory there are other ebay sellers selling non-genuine wind deflectors that have far better images, but cant say about the price.

if you get one, please post back and let us know how it works etc. i would be interested in one (when i eventually find a cab with the right spec)

If its anything like this (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190206672264&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2Fsearch%2F search.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle% 3D190206672264%26fvi%3D1) one. I'd rather have an original Audi one as this looks bit spindly and doesn't quite fit!

Will do
My only reservation is that there is no mention that it is colapsible :\
I hope they don't accept my best offer of £75 then....

Sh*t. Hope not too..... Still no reply from my best offer so fingers crossed :banghead:

Guys,

i buy and sell wind deflectors all the time and wouldnt touch these with a barge pole.
Well actually i did once and hence the comment.
If you want cheap then thats what they are. They dont fold like the Audi one and are not as substantial. The fittings are crude and can be difficult to use. OEM items are built to Audi standards and fit in seconds.
I hope that helps.

Hi
This is the only wind deflector thread I've been able to find. What I want to know is are they worth having? Sounds like only the Audi part is any good - anyone know how much?
I assume they only work when the car is 2-up?

yes only works two up, worth buying, makes driving at speed with the roof down much more comfortable. Check out ebay, got genuine audi one for £75.
