Black mesh inserts in the roll bar

[azzar0]

Does anyone know where to get the black inserts for the windscreen that go in the roll bar (behind the seats, not the center piece)? Do they have a part number?

I should also ask how the windscreen is actually supposed to be mounted. I looked and I don't have any holes behind the seats in the roll bar. Are these some pieces that just clip on or would I have to drill holes into the roll bar?

As you can tell I am not familiar with the windscreen product at all. I just have the center glass and I would like to add the other 2 pieces. Any help with preparing the roll bar for windscreens is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

azzar0.

They just clip in:

Left: 986 561 583 00 01C

Right: 986 561 584 00 01C

They are around $117 each. Try ebay as they sometimes turn up there.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your quick response. I found something on pelicanparts:

4 986-561-323-00-OEM Set of fastening parts, for, wind deflector 1 $23.50

Is this what I need?

Thanks!

azzar0, just curious, how did you obtain just the center glass?

azzar0,

Take a look at this thread :

It explains how to mount the clips needed to secure the center piece between the rollbars.

It came with just the center glass. I am not sure if the previous owner put it in, he may have.

Hi Bill,

I already have the center glass mounted.

Thanks anyway,

Juniic,

I already have the wind deflectors (1 & 2), I need the clips that they attach to the roll bar with.

Thanks,

azzar0.

[azzar0]

Can anyone post a few pictures of all the mounting hardware associated with the wind deflectors?

Eventually with and without the deflectors mounted, etc.

Just the sides, not the center glass, I already have that in.

I'm trying to understand how it works and what can be done to replicate this functionality without spending $250 for a couple of plastic clips...

Thanks,

azzar0.

Im kinda lost here but If u already have the wind screens(1&2), clips are already built on to it,,,just click them on unless your tabs are broken.

I figured out that what I bought is actually not the wind screens, but rather an addition to the windscreens, made of plastic, to further reduce the wind in the cabin. I other words, I do need 1 & 2, and then add these things to the wind deflectors.

I apologize for the confusion.

Thanks for all your help,

azzar0.

any pics?

I think U are talking about this Lexan plastic noise reducer?

Exactly - that's the one!

I got too excited when I saw the price and didn't read the description carefully...

Thanks,

U see the ghetto mounting screw at the bottom? thats how they get mounted!

Yea... The seller is very nice and he'll let me return the parts.

Meanwhile I am going to try to build my own wind deflectors.

Thanks,

Amazing detective work - I could not figure out what azzarO was talking about.

One of the local owners has the clear plastic things.

[azzar0]

Meanwhile I am going to try to build my own wind deflectors.

Well, I built my own. They're not as thick as the factory ones, but they do match my grills. I may be able to attach the Lexan covers to these.

Here are some pics:

I used wire mesh from Lowe's. I drew the shape based on the inside of the leather cover. As you can see, I used the 3 screws as mounting points for the mesh:

pretty nice! azzoro . It would look better if they were black?

Yea, I am going to re-do them using fiberglass mesh instead. The holes are smaller and the color is charcoal. I found a nice mesh on the net with hexagonal holes, much like the OEM wind stop, but I will give this one a try first.

Thanks,

I didn't like the industrial look of the mesh I used for the grills so I re-made the windscreens.

These are truly a work of art (I think :P ) and better than the originals because the holes are much smaller and it reduces the air flow. They also cover the bottom more, to further reduce air traffic.
