Couple of threads on this recently, so I took a look and found this. If I didn't already have one I'd grab it. I always like having the original Jag stuff (but hate the prices...)
thats pretty good for the price.. but make sure it includes the hooks/brackets that it fits into.. these need to be bolted behind the center rear fuse box.. if you dont have the brackets.. it will damage your backseat.. and not fitted correctly..
The brackets are not pictured or mentioned, so unlikely included, if the seller even had them in the leased vehicle (if they were there, and he didn't install them, he couldn't remove them as he didn't own them).
Nice price however, wish a bag had come with mine.
I have no use for a bag, as I leave my aftermarket wind deflector installed except when I clean the rear seats. It takes just a few seconds to remove and reinstall it, as the attachment fittings are spring-loaded and nothing is bolted on. When I put the top up, I push the vertical screen down to the horizontal position so I can better see out the rear window. My deflector has contrasting stitching that matches my Ivory upholstery and works great. I prefer mine over the OEM item, which is black with black stitching. I bought mine years ago from a seller is England.
Why buy this used wind deflector on eBay? A brand new aftermarket wind deflector sold by Mina Gallery does not use brackets, is easy to install, and is the same price as that used OEM wind deflector on eBay. I believe that Forum members get a discount at Mina Gallery.
If that eBay item was priced lower, it might be a good buy provided it came with all the parts and was not damaged. This is one of the few items that, IMHO, makes more sense to buy aftermarket than OEM.
You can also get a deflector from Adamesh that doesn't require any brackets. I agree with Stuart S this is an accessory that should be bought from an aftermarket supplier rather than Jaguar; from both the cost and ease of use factors.
I have one of these Jag deflectors and have never bought the center mounting brackets. I slide the tabs down between the rear seats and the center bolster. Have been doing it for about a year and a half, works great, no issues with the leather at all.

after reading comments from others here I ordered the wind deflector from Adamesh. Arrived here in Florida in 3 days. Nice quality product. Ivory trim color matched the Ivory car interior perfectly. Installation couldn't be easier. We enjoyed our Sunday drive today with less wind noise. Definitely a nice addition and thier price was very reasonable.

Interesting as just looking at it and seeing how the back pins insert into the seat belt area it is the same unit that I bought from Mina gallery. I wonder if they buy from the same manufacture.

Very nice, I like how it matches your car. More importantly you get the prize for framing the picture nicely to the environment you live in, PARADISE.

I'm betting there's only a couple of choices for these guys when it comes to these aftermarket products. Mine from Adamesh is just the same in design.
It's kinda like gasoline. There's only a couple of places it comes from and most anyone can put their name on it... basically speaking.
OEM Wind Deflector!
