Hi All , I'm wondering if anyone has wind defectors on their Defender , The wind is killing me !

Any idea where I can get some ?

Any repco store can order them in for you

Standard smoked weathershields:

Britpart sell the Climair ones, they clip into the window channel. They're the narrow profile type. If you leave our window open just 1cm then the glass rattles on the deflector, but if you open it more, they're okay. The don't protrude past the door frame.

Terrafirma also sell narrow ones that look the same, but they stick to the door frame. They're about half the price.

I don't know who makes the big ones.

Peter Brown in SA has them, he may be able to post over to Sydney. I have them on mine (the minimal kind not the big ones I had on my 300) and they let you crack the windows open a bit which helps with demisting and keeping the rain out. The old style big ones really do the job though and you dont get much wind at all even with the windows right down but they do cut the view a bit. Google PCB Landrovers (thats Peter Brown)

I found these on the web I think they look cool but visibility may be a problem,
Just waiting to hear back from the supplier as far as price and shipping cost .
Could be an opportunity for a group buy?

I got the Climair wind deflectors ... do the job , bit tricky to fit as they go in the door channel... Daniel/ Mulgo can supply them..

These are the go;)

I would be wary of the full sized weather shields if you happen to tint the windows. Visibility is very much compromised by the reflection.:(

I asked a mate of mine who has the big ones on his Defender.He said the same about visibility and reflections on the windows, especially if they are tinted. The good point though was that he said they do work really well.

I personally prefer the look of the thinner low profile Climair ones as they look better in my opinion, the big ones look a bit naff.

My window are tinted, so I didn't want to impede on the visibility any further, I just need to find someone close to me who has them so I can check them out, as I love driving with my windows down but the noise and wind in the Defender drive me Insane:wacko:

Of course you could always just buy a Defender with vents under the windscreen. Open those and wind isn't a problem:).

Are you saying that's a cheaper option ? :p

I had the really big ones but one of them came off on the freeway the other week and instead of fixing it I decided to get a set of the lower profile ones in black. Ordered them from landrovertuning.com.au

The reason for not replacing the really large one is because everytime I try to lean out of the window I bump my forehead on it....and because the swirls from endless times cleaning it have reduced its clarity and I can't see the mirror as well as I'd like.

They should be here in time for the weekend's tinkering.

Mine were the full sized ones that came with my Defender when I purchased it new. The rain and dust would build up on the inside while driving making visibility difficult, and looking at the LHS mirror, it was almost impossible to see clearly. I ended up taking the band saw to both of them, and made them smaller. Now they are about 100mm top and front. Can see the mirrors, and still get a good breeze when the windows are down, but no rain if they are slightly down. Any thing I would do differently would get tinted ones in the future.

Cheers,
