One wind deflector clips

[Mclayborn79]

I just purchased an oem wind deflector on eBay and it is missing some clips. What part numbers am I missing? I have looked and everything I find is linked to old posts no longer available.

I doubt you’ll find them separately. That one isn’t made anymore afaik. They’re not absolutely necessary for it to work well. The elastic stretched on mine after washing so there’s a lot of slack between the clip and the mesh. You’ll need longer screws and a short bushing for the tenax connectors on the back of the sub/roll hoop box. You got a good price on that even though you’re missing a couple bits. They’re hard to find.

Do you mean these?

I found these from a seller in The Netherlands that were cheaper between the cost and the shipping, but he isn't currently selling them on Ebay. The clips aren't necessary, but you'll hear the plastic clip you do have slapping on the plastic behind you.

The missing female clip you need is generic. They come in several sizes. Google "plastic luggage clips" or "plastic strap clips" and you'll find them. Sew some new elastic on and you're good to go.

I am missing one of those clips posted above. Tossed it when I got the car cause I did not know what it was to and though it was part of a bag from the PO. Been 4 years with only one clip and no issues.

May have to buy a set of those clips though, just to have

I acquired a wind deflector last year and "seller" that gave me deflector for free still had the clips attached. Woo hoo! I did have to buy some Tenax screws, so found a German supplier that makes them in chrome for a bit of bling.
