Sunroof Deflector

Anyone got a pic of one that you can buy from NAPA?
My local NAPA dealer said they have one for 90 bucks CAD!

I don;t like the look of them. I recently gave one of the Mazda OEM ones away. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ight=deflector

This may help.

Now I got mixed feelings about it now

I like the look but not the sound of possible scratching and stuff.....anyhow how much are you looking for it?

I live in Canada too which can be pricey for shipping

oops, it says it is on back order: http://www.courtesyparts.com/Merchan...VJ001%28a33%29

call them and ask them what size is the altima deflector or another similar (they are all the same).

Mine was $40 from my local Mazda dealership. Ask for the "wind deflector" for a 1991 Rx-7.

Did he check if Japan can import one for you? Mine actually came from the california warehouse but some stuff has to be imported.

I'd be real surprised if there were'nt still available.

How long have you had it on?

Do you like it?

Has it scratched your paint yet?

It just blackens the paint underneath the rubber on the wind deflector, but it doesn't hurt the paint.

I love mine on the Turbo II. It extends the lines on the car & looks so sweet in person.

Mine's been on the car for about 6 months now. The air defector on my 929's been on it and I recently replaced that one as it was looking a bit faded.

mine never scratched the paint just left it a different color (from dirt getting trapped under the seal)
