Will an R170 SLK200 Head Rest Wind Deflector fit an R171 (it's the basic fabric one supplied with the car)?

For comfort at 70mph and still being able to talk to Your passenger the best wind deflector for the R171 is the Plastic OEM one, un-fortunately they are so good that that sell for £250 to £300 ebay... :|

I've got a deflector fitted to my SLK 170 that is full width and lower than the boot/trunk line. This gives the very best in sealing and wind deflection. It has a Mercedes logo and has programmable illumination for night use. It didn't cost anything like the amount quoted. Just be patient and search the Internet. A word of warning, though. There is an inferior version that is thinner in section and is flimsy, especially at speed. The screen I have is about 7 mm thick and is very robust.

Do You have a picture, by any chance..??

Agree that the R171 OEM version is expensive, but having moved up to the R172 - Even with My little mod that I've done, the R172 "Air Guards" are poor in comparison.... :frown:

Thanks for this useful info. I'll look around.

Yes indeed, any more precise info?

@Squishband

I have an original mesh item (somewhere) for my 171 which I don't think has ever been used. If you want to make me an offer, I'll start the search...

 

[Squishband]

Wow, that’s really kind of you, I’d really appreciate it. Not a clue what to offer... does £40 or £50 seem fair? Richard

No, seems too much to me! £20 plus postage will be fine - if I can find it!

In which part of London are you located - might be close-by?

 

[Squishband]

That is very generous of you. If you find it I'm near Paddington (but I have wheels!).

£20...!! :surprise:
Think I know where mine is - I'll offer You £30 to take it off My hands....!! >
This is what the R171 Fabric Wind Deflector looks like:

Though to be fair, it would make the R171 Cabin far more comfortable now winter has arrived here...

Thanks for the pic Trev, I was wondering what it looked like.

Do you still want me to dig around, or are you taking up Trev on his freebie?

I don' t want to step in the middle, but if when all is said and done you still have it, I would gladly take it off your hands. (of course remitting the requisite price and S&H) :smile:

 

[Squishband]

Good question

Terminal,

I've asked Trev to clarify (I thought he was just kidding), so we should perhaps wait until he confirms his intentions, but I would still assume I will want yours 0

OK, let me know - it's just that my dad broke his hip last week and I'm busier than a cat burying $**t at the moment, so won't deconstruct my garage if you're sorted!

Not to get in anyone's way but if possible, I would like to get on the waiting list for one (LOL). I just got my SLK280 this past Monday and it doesn't have one.

and you looked behind the seats and under the cover over the spare tire?
