Sunroof deflectors

Post by nickphillips »

Hi
Anybody stripped the deflectors, i presume these should be springloaded. Anybody sucessfully put them back together or tried a different 'spring' mech?.

Hi Nick,

I have stripped and rebuilt them before. I used the original metal long wire/spring. I am just about to get a set re-polished and re-anodised so I will be able to get some pics when they come back and I put them back together.

I have a bad pic of the rear part of one deflector; you can see how the wire is held in. HTH

Hi Nick,

I use several places to this kind of work done for me. I am doing a lot of testing for different processes on different things, such as getting window frames done. These are a little more difficult due to the size and the steel pins. It's not a one stop shop or even a process that most of these companies openly offer. There are companies that offer polishing and anodising services, but that very different to a company that knows how to do the process on Porsche bits. The best thing is, if you want some done, wait a little while until I get my current set back and then if they are ok send them to me.

Cheers

Alan
