I was doing a short highway drive the other day when it seemed that something had hit my car, out of nowhere. I was cursing my bad luck to be hit by some random object while driving along etc.
At my destination I noticed some marks on the roof and a few days later I washed and detailed the car and managed to remove the marks.
At some point in the detail work I realised I had one less wind deflector. The passenger rear was gone. So now I realised it wasn't a random hit that I could have avoided by leaving at a different time, the deflector ripped off the car on the highway!
Has anybody heard of this before?
To add insult to injury when I went to order another rear set I discovered that the OEM deflectors are NLA, nobody had any in the country that I could find.
In the end I got the part number and ordered one from Deutsche Auto Parts that should be here soon.
I'll certainly be keeping an eye on these in the future.
