I haven't bothered with wind deflector for mine. Had one on previous MGB GT and it was more bother than it was worth. I keep n/s back window open. That enables airflow and stops any buffeting. If noise is an issue close quarter lights, that is where most of wind noise is generated.

Thanks so much - certainly looks good . My sunroof has a flip up plastic blade which is pretty useless and anyway i find you get wind noise from the roof when it is shut !. Will investigate this then.

Roger, I have a blade on my Weathershield Systems (Britax, I think) sunroof, it works very well. With the blade down there is a lot of buffeting and wind noise, with the blade up is it very comfortable and quiet.

I purchased a new blade last year from Littleport Boat Haven in Ely, Cambridgeshire. http://www.littleportboathaven.co.uk/index.htm It was very good quality and the fit was far better then the previous one that had cracked. I can highly recommend a decent blade.
