Mercedes-Benz Szélterelők
Our Mercedes-Benz wind deflectors use model-specific mesh panels to cut wind noise and draughts. They fit quickly with OEM-style mounts and make conversations easier on top-down drives. Start here: Mercedes SL Wind Deflectors — stable fitment and rattle-free operation.
Brief summary + key benefits
Mercedes-Benz wind deflectors make open-top journeys quieter and warmer. A taut mesh panel breaks up the recirculating airflow behind the front seats, reducing wind noise and draughts. Model-matched frames use OE-style mounting points for quick, usually tool-free installation and a stable, rattle-free fit.
Technical Basics
Frames are typically high-strength aluminium or steel with a matte powder-coated finish to minimise glare. The fine mesh redirects air without blocking rearward visibility. Mounting targets vehicle-specific points in the rear compartment/side trims, with rubber interfaces to suppress squeaks and protect trim. Many units support two positions (deployed/folded) and are foldable for easy boot storage.
Interior geometry varies across generations (e.g., SL, E-Class Cabriolet), so exact model year matching is essential. Quality designs include discreet reinforcements to preserve shape over rough surfaces and maintain an OE-like appearance when installed.
Selection Criteria
Fitment: match the part to your model code and year range. Compare clip locations and frame contours to product photos, especially on re-trimmed interiors. A model-specific solution ensures the quietest result.
Materials & finish: prefer powder-coated frames, UV-resistant mesh, damped hinges and wear pads at contact points. A foldable design with a padded bag simplifies seasonal removal and protects adjacent trim.
Comfort benefits: with reduced buffeting you’ll feel less fatigue on motorways; in cooler weather the heater feels more effective thanks to lower draughts. Conversation and music become noticeably easier with two occupants.
Appearance & integration: discrete black finishes blend with Mercedes interiors and avoid reflections. Properly shaped frames leave mirrors and rearward sightlines unobstructed and do not require permanent modifications.
Installation & Maintenance
Installation: most units are tool-free. Position the frame, engage the clips and run a full roof test cycle to verify mechanism clearance. If any rattle appears, adjust clip tension or rubber interfaces; do not place luggage on the deflector.
Care: gently brush the mesh and wipe powder-coated frames with a damp microfibre cloth. Periodically check for scratches, verify clip tightness and replace ageing rubber pads. Store the folded assembly in its bag and secure it in the boot so it cannot slide under braking.
FAQ
Will a universal deflector work?
Generations differ in geometry—choose a model-specific unit for the best fit and lowest noise.
Can it stay installed with the roof up?
Often yes—confirm clearances by cycling the roof after fitting to protect the soft-top mechanism.
How much noise reduction?
A clear drop in wind noise and buffeting; conversations and music become easier, especially with two occupants.
How do I clean it?
Soft-brush the mesh and wipe the frame with a damp microfibre cloth; avoid harsh chemicals on powder coat.
