S14 Sunroof Wind Deflectors - Worth it? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

My rubber seal is now pulling away from the fiberglass trim. They're all still intact, but not for much longer. Will a Wind Deflector actually help keep them from getting beat to shit as I drive? And are the OEM ones worth the price? I saw one from Courtesy Nissan for $140 but Autozone has generic ones for only $40 bucks.

And what is the installation like? Just some adhesive tape?

A friend and I have twin kouki's minus the sunroof deflector. His seals look identical to mine. I want to same installation(it was factory) were just screws and clips. I cannot recall at the moment.

Yes!!!!!!!!!

Hmmm. Looks simple enough. I can't see how the OEM piece might possibly be superior enough to cost $100 more. Vatozone it is.

What type of adhesive you guys use when your sunroof trim starts falling apart?

Not sure if you know or not but I have the oe deflector and it uses 2 taps/clips for mounting no adhesive. I can get you pics if you want them.

Anyone know where I can find those clips? The shop lost mine when they took it off for painting.

Just to let y'all know, I seen a lot of Maximas with oem sunroofs at the local junkyard that have those clips and doesn't used tape. Maybe use the sunroof or at least the clips on an autozone one to make sure it's on there. Or if u dint want to use the tape..
