Wind deflectors.

I'm sure I seen a HiJet with wind deflectors on the front door windows somewhere, but can't remember where.
Anyone know where you can buy these from...seen some on the net, but at £57.00 is a bit steep me-thinks.

Been thinking about them myself, here's a set on Ebay
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160774515147?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

^^^Much better price there .
The ones I found were plus P&P which totalled too £65.00 .

Nice find Logi, I spent ages looking on the net and that's all I came up with.

Think I might have to buy a set of these at that price,

Funnily just yesterday I was hunting for some.

save yourself another couple of quid, from the same seller.....

Logi, let us know if you get them.

I e-mailed them asking if the deflectors were in stock, and this is their reply .......

Just got confirmation they had been shipped. Though there is no listing for the Hijet, maybe they don't know its the same? (or they're f***ing with me and have nicked my dosh? )

They will not know they are the same like most parts places, they won't want to assume anything.

Fancy posting up some pictures when they turn up, as I'll use you as a test dummy before I order a set

No worries, i'll stick some pix up when they arrive. More to the point i hope they work, it's been rather warm up here but the Hijet isn't the most comfortable with the window down(need to figure out how to fit aircon )

Still a bit odd because I did state in my e-mail to them..... 'for a Piaggio Porter', as that's what I have, I didn't mention HiJet to them .

Hmmmm!! Weird

Lets see how this plays out... they might be sitting there in a weeks time puzzled to why they have sold loads of sets of Piaggio Porter wind deflectors, when normally then never sell any.

Maybe then they need emailing and told they fit the hijet.... in exchange for a hijet forum discount code

OK. Had another reply about the 'wind deflectors'.
Looks like Logi may have been lucky and had the last ones in stock .
Not to worry guys...... there's more due in the next couple of weeks .......

Here's the reply from Micks Garage ....

Hi
thank you for the email.

My apologies the email was misleading.

What was meant is that the deflectors are out of stock but i have checked it up an they are due in the next two weeks.

Ian

Deffo in stock for me, they arrived today
Cant fit them till I get home cos I took the Merc to work today :/
Packing leaves a LOT to be desired, yes they're boxed but are free to rumble about the box...
Mine werent damaged but im surprised, maybe bubble wrap is too expensive?
Will post piccies later after roadtesting them

Had another email today about the wind deflectors.
I think Ian and Colin at 'Micks Garage' should start talking to each other.....
One minute they're for sale...then 'we don't stock them'.... then, 'they're due in the next 2 weeks'........
Now they're 'special order'
WTF's going on .

Here's the latest email......

Hi,

Well, they're fitted



Loook ok



As you can see, sun's out, so roadtesting them won't be today

Very nice......coolio .

Do they fit ok? Does the window wind up ok?

Do they fit? Yea and no, drivers side no probs, pass side not as good, the moulding seems a wee bit off, doesnt clip in as well as the drivers side. Catches the window a bit too. Will be in touch with Mick/ whoever but couldnt be bothered yesterday as it was sunny and went topless in the Merc instead

^^^Mmmmm, oh well..... think I'll pay the extra and get some proper ones then

Logi...thanks for being the dummy test-dummy .

I contacted them too:-

Hi Matt,
We have ran out of stock however they will be back in stock next Tuesday.

Many thanks
Ciaran

Wee update, fudded about with the pass side today, got it in better, window works now
Definite difference today with the window down, 65mph, wee draught but 100% better than before.

Well worthy mod

I think you lot want wind deflectors because your all getting old and have no hair to let the wind blow through

Tbh one thing I miss is quarterlights, you could drive with the window down without getting your face blown off

Logi wrote:quarterlights

You what you what?

Is this something from the era of pop out indicators and when wing mirrors were actually attached to your wings?

I haven't found wind a problem via the door windows, you lads must drive too fast.

You can't drive too fast in a Hijet

We don't have wing mirrors they are door mirrors get with the times
