wind deflector mesh fabric replacement?

Has anyone changed out the mesh fabric on their wind deflector? Mine has developed some holes. I've watched a couple YouTube videos and it doesn't seem too difficult.

I'm just wondering about matching fabric as I don't want to change out all three panels if I can avoid it. I found a couple sellers on ebay but otherwise not much. Anyone have a good source?

Hello,

Just added these " Love the Drive" branded wind deflectors Made in Canada, you would use the fabric and then reuse the seal on the OEM MINI part. They have a fix kit. If you do all three they they would match, i think with age and sun one might be darker then the rest when replaced.

Thanks ECS, I did find them and also Cabrio Supply in Europe (shipping is expensive though).

Good to see you sell so I can pick up when ordering some other parts I need.

Yep, we like to use places that are close in the USA or Canada. That way their is not a long wait.
