Never really been a fan. The little metal pop up flap does pretty well deflecting the wind. Reach up and pull it down at about 80mph with the roof all the way open. You'll be shocked at the difference in makes. | | | | | 05-01-2006, 01:54 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Tyler, TX Posts: 1,022 |
They're functional, but they look ugly.
I'd pass. | | | | | 05-01-2006, 02:08 PM | #4 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
I have one and don't know if it really does anything.
I think it takes away from the styling. It's been on there so long that the color probably is different underneath. __________________ ...steven

I saw one on a silver ti that was parked at the end of my street all last year and thought it was ugly looking on the ti. I had one on my saab 900 and loved it,exspecially when it was raining out cause you could still have it opened a litte. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

My ti has had one since I bought it. I personally think that it would look better without one, but it's been on there for so long that I'm not sure if I should take it off or what.

My 318 is the quietest sunroof I've ever owned... What would you need it for? You can always just open it in vent mode anyway.... Trying to figure this out.....  Dave __________________

My old E21 had one on it. Had a bra too. Both served functional purposes. Both got ebayed because I hated how they looked. | | | | | 05-05-2006, 09:11 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: southern CA Posts: 127 |
