lofi Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 I was just watching Harry's Garage on the YouTube where he is reviewing the 718 GTS and I noticed it appears to have a clear deflector between the seats. Anyone know if this fits the 981? It looked remarkably similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart21UK Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 are you sure it wasn't a mesh one? it shows as Net-type wind deflector on 718 GTS configurator under standard spec: anyway you can buy a clear one - Technowind from Pedros Garage http://www.pedrosgarage.com/Site_2/TechNOwind.html and I think there was someone else who makes similar too Body Two-seater vehicle with mid-mounted engine Front apron with side air intakes Intelligent lightweight body in Aluminium/Steel-composite construction Electrically operated, fully automatic fabric hood with rigid glass rear screen, operable up to approx. 31 mph, convenient operation by key remote Net-type wind deflector Automatically extending rear spoiler Closed underbody panelling ‘PORSCHE’ logo in silver colour on trim strip and model designation on rear apron in satin black Model designation 'GTS 4.0' on doors in black Specifically designed GTS front and rear aprons, partially painted in black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenman Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 Note- you may experience more buffeting with a clear/solid deflector as opposed to a mesh one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringer250 Posted September 24, 2020 Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Looks like mesh Edited September 25, 2020 by Ringer250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofi Posted September 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 I must get a better TV! As said the mesh is fine roof down, I just like the better visibility when it is removed roof up, which is a faff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withy Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I got one from eBay for £55 last year which is great and I definitely prefer the visibility through it vs the mesh one. Seller doesn't seem to have them anymore, but there is an alternative here though https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Porsche-Clear-Wind-Deflector-for-981-718/133015040908 Not the same one I got so can't comment on the quality, but maybe worth a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
