Default OEM Wind Deflector

I recenly acquired, at an excellent low price, a Jaguar wind deflector with the keys, it is the early version. Apparently the mounting hardware and instructions are available only for the later version. Without instructions or anything to go by, I came up with what is pictured below. I am happy with it, but I may add some lower mounts to have the option of it being less obtrusive. The metal "holes" are Hillman 5/16-18 stainless brad hole T nuts I bought at Lowes. I drilled out the threads and the deflector pins fit perfectly into the holes. The T nuts are fastened with a small stainless screws on each side. So maybe this is an option for some out there that have an OEM deflector without the hardware. Sometimes you can get used ones on eBay for a good price, but make sure a working key is included; not sure if a locksmith could re-key. More often than not however, the eBay units are as much as a new aftermarket unit. Just thought I would share this in case someone has one without the mounts.

I think the holes should have been lower?


I am trying to get the correct mounting package from Jag.

Where did you get the deflector?
