Review of WeatherTech 89018 Sunroof Wind Deflector

I've had my WeatherTech Sunroof Wind Deflector for a year now and I've found it to be a welcome addition to my 2002 New Beetle Sport.Installation was just a little tricky, because it will have to bow to fit the roof contour when fitting it into place.Don't worry, it's pretty strong.

Previously, though my car has a small pop up wind deflector built in, I was subjected to annoying wind turbulence when driving with the sunroof open at highway speeds.The WeatherTech unit effectively diverts the air flow, making open air driving a pleasure.It is also strong enough to stay firmly in place at speeds well in excess of 100 mph.

The deflector actually causes a vacuum, which, depending upon the speed, can cause a light "booming" noise as the air pressure inside of the car tries to equalize.Opening the windows slightly solves this problem.

I often enjoy a good cigar while traveling down the road and the vacuum draws the smoke out so effectively that I've never had an issue with that stale smoke smell or residue on the glass.
