Want to buy wind deflector for OEM BMW Z3 roll hoops (zip up not Perspex type)

PJ

Hey there, check Ebay, since there's always good deals over there. You can find used ones about 50% of the regular, dealer price. Also, there's a good directory of Z3 windscreen vendors at windscreen review. Be sure to check out the windblox windscreen.

Come up on ebay from time to time. Expect to pay around £100 in the UK. Seems a lot for a second hand item but they can easily be sold on gain. Are they worth it? - absolutely, the OE net ones (cars with factory roll hoops) make top down driving very much more pleasurable. I would go as far as saying they are essential.

Agree with Del, I just picked one up for exactly £100 on eBay. You can go a bit cheaper (I've seen them for ~£70) but the photos weren't that clear and I'd question the condition. The seller claimed (as many do) that "all fixings" were present. I had no idea how the deflector clipped on beyond the fact they fitted over the hoops, but after some research I found that whilst the front clips were present, the longer bolts for the rear of the storage box were in fact, not (seller later confirmed this).

Thanks to this forum - I found they can be obtained at http://www.loxx24.de/ and got some ordered! Might be useful for you. The bolts are definitely NLA from BMW.

Hi
If you log onto the Z.Roadster .org forum Gaz & Lee sell them/have them made and are much cheaper than those others.
Look under the for sale section.

They sell the perspex ones - PJH is after a standard Zip up one.

PS - agree with the comments about the lower fastenings - sometimes the clips are missing, always the screws are missing but can easily be bought (or a piece of velcro used)

I have one you can buy from me. Its surplus now i have ACS hoops . Send me a pm.

I also have one for sale if deano,s falls through

There is also one for sale on Gumtree

That gumtree one is bloody good value for someone!
