Did the e30 wind deflector come with a case, if so, do you know where to get one from.
Thank you
Peter

Mine came in canvas not the pvc shown there but I have never seen one for sale on its own.. It would be easier to get one made

Mine did not come with one, a friend has an M3 Cabby, so I used his as a template and got one made, cost me all of 5euro
BTW, I have a cigarette burn in the mesh, has anybody ever replaced the mesh and how?
thanks

Can be replaced easily. The rubber lip has to be removed (carefully, or it may tear). It is not glued. Then the new new mesh schould be laid in place. Tension should not be not too much, or it will later slip out of the lip. Put the lip back into place. Perhaps with aid of a rubber mallet, becuase it's tight fit. Then cut the overlaying mesh carefully with a razor blade.
Be careful at buying the mesh from ebay- usually you will only get a piece of speaker cover. This will do, but surely can be bought cheaper at a local store.
@speedye30m3: pleas note that the ebay offer is complete with the wind deflector. Was only meant to show the look of the case.
Cheers!
