These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

11 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can the wind deflector be left in place while the cabriolet top is closing/closed? Or is it too tall or wide? Thank you!

POST 7Original post

Sure, no problem. You can also leave it in place, but fold the vertical part flat to improve visiblity out the back window. Easy to do with one hand. However, you will need to remove it to put kids in the back seat. The folded-up deflector fits neatly in the frunk. To re-install it, you need to fold down the back seats.

POST 10Original post

It works both up (in wind deflector mode) as well as leaving it in place but dropping the wind deflector portion to it's horizontal position. We left ours up 24/7 since it visibility is still very good for the driver but acts as a screen for both sunlight/glare as well as a privacy screen of sorts.

POST 11Original post

Yes, you can close the top with it installed...I have one but rarely use it....Being 6' 2" with long arms the seat goes all the way back and also recline.....there is no room for the windscreen, unless the steering wheel is on my chest....
