Hi

I brought some time ago an original E30 wind deflector. I went to put it on my car today but it didnt seem to fit that well?
Has anyone got an original instruction manual for this bit of kit or am i just being a plank and not seeing the obvious?

Help needed cheers

i just double checked and the arms either side spring out. the bits a the end of the arms look too big to go into the seat belt bit?

Handy video,adit!

Worth pointing out,perhaps,that if the deflector does not seem to drop into place as shown,the most likely cause is that one or both rear side panels are not fitted correctly...thus narrowing the space that the deflector fits into.
