Has any one solved the problem with wind noise by installing a wind deflector? and is there one that stands out above the rest?

 

I think it's relatively quiet compared to other cars, especially considering the size of the glass. It would be cool though if it was possible to make it actually silent

 

Got one from mats.com I believe. Couldn't stand all of the racket in the cabin with it open. Had one on a BMW years ago and thought I would give one a try. I have a black top though, I think it would look funny on a white top.

 

here's mine.

 

how hard was that one to install?

 

To install they just stick on with 3m tape. The only hard part is getting it lined up because once it sticks its not comming off.


I had one on my Grand Prix, their nice and am going to get one for the cooper from Out Motoring.

 

Thanks for the replies but my real question is,does it work! Does it take away most of the noise in the cabin at speeds of 65 or more. As it is, there is no way I can stand having it open because the wind is so loud. I'm not crazy to put somthing on my roof that would spoil the lines of the car but I got to do what I got to do. I tried flipping the wind deflectors down but it causes a thumping noise in the cabin.

 

Mine makes a lot of difference. No way to drive with the thing open without one. Mine does not attach with tape though. It comes with little brackets and the deflector attaches to the brackets with screws. Really neat system. You can move it arround a little befor setting it. Highly recommended. NO HOLES TO DRILL.

 

Can you tell me where you got your deflector Madhatter?

 

Believe it or not, but the ones on the Volvo V70's are extremely quiet. So quiet that you could do 70 easy and forget it was open... Of course the sunroof on the V70 is half the size of the one on the MINI...

 

Madhatter. Who makes the one you installed?
