Sean, I'll be ordering mine tonight, via paypal. I think I can speak for many of us when I say "thank you for a job well done". I look forward to doing business with you.

I just cut the whole with a jigsaw, then cleaned up the edges with a file. There are probably better ways, but it seemed to work fine.

I did mine same as tucka...jigsaw. Worked great and made a HUGE difference. Also, as it turned out, I ordered it last weekend, and it was here Thursday by 10am !!! Took about an hour to cut the stuff apart. The only mod I think I'm going to make is putting a small bead of black silicone on the part of the lexan that touches the plastic. I'm thinking this will keep the road dirt/water from creeping under the lexan. Anyway, Sean's kit is perfect !!!

Hi There,
Just got home from a business trip and the first thing I did was install my deflector that Sean shipped quickly, thank you. Installation was simple. I think I could have done a better job on the edges of the cut out but it was the first time using my dremel ( a little tedious). Sean's directions were perfect. I would highly reccommend this kit.

Looks like a real nice add-on, guys. My suggestion - if you use a jigsaw to cut the wind deflector, 1) use a fine tooth blade at medium speed - may keep you from having to do a lot of edge cleanup work and 2) put some masking tape on the underside of the blade table - that way you won't scuff up the remaining edges of the plastic as you move the saw. If you all already knew this, please accept my apologies for stating the obvious...

I have to second everything azdaren said. It looks great, and the instructions were dead on. Thanks Sean!!!

Put the deflector on last week. It was easy and it looks sooo cool! If you have a sunroof you'll want one of these. Thanks Sean for putting it all together. This thing rocks.
Does anyone else in Illinois have one of these or am I the only one?

Has anybody had one of these things on long enough to get a feel for how they stand up to scratches and scuffs, like from windblown sand or carwashes, etc.?

I've had mine for two Minnesota winters and after a wash and sqeegie, it still looks brand new. After you do this mod, you'll kick yourself for not doing it sooner. I have no idea where my soft gray "sunroof cover" is anymore... probably in the garage somewhere.

I've had mine in all of the elements including the heavy sanding and salting of the roads up here and have not had an issue. Remember this is not plexi-glass it is Lexan, which holds up to these conditions far better than plexiglass.

I've had Sean's Lexan wind deflector for a few months now and it is GREAT!
I take it through the car wash with no problems.
It was really easy to install- I used a Dremel tool (make sure you have a corded one- not the cordless. Cordless is not strong enough.)
Sean was great to deal with. I highly recommend this kit!

I ordered the kit on the 26th. It arrived today Thanks Sean! After installing it, I find myself asking why I didn't do it sooner. Nissan should offer the see through deflector as standard issue. What a difference! Installation couldn't have been easier. Just make sure to take your time with the cutting and it should look great. One word of caution though. When tightening the lock nuts, don't put too much on them or the bolts will snap in two. I broke the first one off and I didn't feel like i was putting too much into it . Nevertheless, if you do manage to snap one, replacements are easy enough to get. No worries. Thanks Sean for a great mod kit. Well worth the $$ to not have to look for tinted lexan around here, and then cut it myself. rasj

QUOTE]Do you work out like 7 days a week? Those machine screws are made of stainless steel! I knew Lexan was tough, but I would've thought that the new deflector piece would have cracked before the screw broke![/QB][/QUOTE Maybe I got screw from a bad batch then . The first one I installed broke pretty easy. It wasn't even completely "tight" either. I was not trying to tighten it too much for fear of breaking the lexan, but the nut never hit the "stopping point", it just snapped off. I went to the hardware store and grabbed a handful of replacements after that, just in case, but none of the others broke so all is well.

I received the kit and the installation was relatively straight forward. The packaging is great and instructions straight forward (no images though).
You do need some skills to make good straight cuts with a dremel. I think my cuts were just OK. The lower cut is a bit tricky since there are plastic support columns behind it.
When screwing you might want to start with one side and work your way to the other side. The holes shifted a bit since marking (maybe because of the shifting of the plastic after the hole is cut) or somehow I marked it wrong.
Just wondering though, where could you get black rubber caps to hide the screw head? Right now you get more of a A-team look with all the exposed screw heads. I would like to hide them.
Overall, it is a good kit though the final quality of installation is based on your quality on making the cuts. Thanks Sean.
