Had the car for about six weeks now- yesterday was only the second time that I had to use the wipers.... is that a record in the UK? :D

Anyway; the only thing that I was really disappointed with was the wind noise when the sliding sunroof was open, the pop-up deflector made it a bit better but still unacceptable for long distances. After trying the various combinations I think that I've cracked it: sunroof open, deflector not raised, both rear side windows down, front windows up. Try it. Around town, sliding roof open and all four windows down is good.

And..... roof down: best option seems to be to fit the wind deflector thingy over the rear seats but don't lift the vertical bit and to raise all four side windows; I've done some 300 mile trips in this config and walked away without my head ringing! :D

Cheers,
Pete.

I was getting bugged by the wind noise via the sunroof as well. Thanks for the tip, I will try next time I can see the sun when driving.

Cheers

It might be a record in Wilmslow...!

Thanks for your advice. Will give the options a go!

Yes, I agree, top down is best with the front wind deflector down. You really notice the difference !

you are right! Not to mention my dog loves the little triangle windows open in the rear. Perfect height and size for her to hang her head out.

Thanks for figuring out the magic combo.
