Tall Wind Deflector for the MX-5 or 124 Spider

[@nobushan4100]

I will be at FFO in June too. Had the mod but both with different look. Great video and thanks for sharing every tip you added to your Spider.

[@DropTopTees]

Thank you! We look forward to meeting you!

Hey I just torn apart my abarth 124 to fix a rattle sound on my roof glass. as a turn out it was not mechanical, it was the J hook edge clip was not glued into the window frame so it rattles. I cut the wire protector flap behind drivers seat for the window heater, but it still rattles. it was the J hook clip after all. I stuck some rubber that I cut from the Wire flap into the J clip gap, and now it is dead silence again. Check the J hook clip if your rear window glass rattles. not the screw behind the drivers seat, not the Heater wire flap, not the mechanical roof support, not the window itself ,but the J hook clip. myth busted after a week of rattling.

[@DropTopTees]

OK subscribers- something to keep in mind if your roof glass ever rattles!

[@peteskeet9443]

I installed a similar one that I purchased from

[@DropTopTees]

Do you like it?

[@peteskeet9443]

@@DropTopTees Yes. I got mine from Autoricambi and installed the on/off switch in center bin. It's a little bigger than stock and similar shape.

[@markeboy1658]

Nice mod . I can see me getting that

[@DropTopTees]

Wait til it finishes processing in high def - it looks even better!

[@MikeSpiderson]

i got the "124 Spider" version. pretty sick.

[@DropTopTees]

They are nice!

@@DropTopTees Right on. Hey, also, I was able to create another facebook account by creating another gmail cause I didn't want to use this one and tie it with facebook. But I find it weird that I tried creating a fb account twice with something other than gmail and it left them permanently disabled, yet using a gmail has no issues. At least I'm gettin into the Fiat groups finally. I show up as Mike Spiderson on there, so if you ever see that name floating around, that's me.

[@robg8gt697]

how is the rear view night visibility when lit?

[@DropTopTees]

It has a dimmer switch, so you can adjust it to a point it doesn't mess with you. I leave mine full bright because my graphics are minimal. If you had more extensive graphics, you could just decrease the brightness.

Great Video!! I as actually looking at their website earlier today. Really helpful!! TU! If not to much to ask: Are you still able to raise & lower the top from the Driver’s Seat? Where did you source the seatbelt covers? Thx again!

[@DropTopTees]

I think the ease of putting the top up or down after you install a tall deflector is based on how long your arms are. I can still do it. My wife has to lift her body up a bit to push it back down.

[@DropTopTees]

We got the embroidered seat belt covers from E-Bay. www.ebay.com/itm/223570564237

[@cdna786]

Thank you! I finally mounted the Sills from Italy Pic on forum. Today put in the MX5things auto window module with key fob operation upgrade out of stock currently but I highly recommend it. Press unlock 2x and windows lower, opposite when you press lock 2x on key fob Friendly heads up Thx again!

[@mikel-pf8gd]

What is the website called can u show me a link please

[@alialkasey9622]

Can you please give the dimension of the emblems for my hood, trunk, steering wheel, so I can make my design for my 2020 Abarth Spider, Thank you so much very much appreciated, That was a fantastic video, I love the Wind Restrictor, I going to order one

[@DropTopTees]

If you message the Badge King on Facebook, he already has the dimensions for the 124. Make sure you tell him Abarths though.

[@michaelfaugno4720]

Where did you get the spider badge?

[@DropTopTees]

I made the design and then had BADGE KING on Facebook make the emblems for my hood, trunk, steering wheel, and wheel hubs. Just send him a message on Facebook and he will respond normally in 3-4 days. I also had a local engraver put the design on my shift knob and oil cap and Wind Restrictor put in on my wind deflector.

[@emanuelecinti4541]

Can you explain step by step how to mount it please? :)

[@DropTopTees]

No - because I did not do it...lol. I do not do electronics; I have a bad history with them :(

[@emanuelecinti4541]

Have you connect wire in fuse box?

[@DropTopTees]

Yes, it is wired to the fuse box. But I had someone do it for me because I do not do electronics well.

[@emanuelecinti4541]

@@DropTopTees have you got RGB version? Is there a dimmer module? How to push up or down light intensity? Thanks

[@DropTopTees]

@@emanuelecinti4541 Yes, this is the full color version. There are two buttons below the color wheel that dim and brighten.

[@mikel-pf8gd]

Do you have the link for the tail deflector? or where can I get it

[@DropTopTees]

windrestrictor.com/windrestrictor/fiat-wind-deflector.html

[@emanuelecinti4541]

Hi Where do you keep your remote? I install wind restrictor too but I would to find a place fixing it with a strap or something other

[@DropTopTees]

We keep it in the center console on top of our insurance and registration cards. Would also fit well in our Lusso seat gap organizers (from Amazon).

[@edwinvega4727]

Where did you get the spider emblems from. Eddie from Orlando.

[@DropTopTees]

I designed them myself and had "The Badge King" on Facebook make them for me. He is quite reputable and does great work.

[@schizobipolarjoe]

$219-279 ouch, but looks good.

[@DropTopTees]

They are actually less expensive than the only other one I found that offered similar options.

[@schizobipolarjoe]

@@DropTopTees yep isn't autcra how ever it's spelled around 350.00 I took mine out because it blocked my view seeing stuff with the top up.

[@mikel-pf8gd]

Do you have the link for me please
