Screen wind deflectors.

Post by milleplod »

My '06 RT is in the garage, stripped down after I've fitted new suspension and a new engine front cover. I'm now fettling lots of otherwise hidden bits! Where the screen meets the mirror pods, there's what BMW call 'wind deflectors', one on each side - clear plastic, they're filthy and un-cleanable in-situ! Has anyone ever removed them, and if so, how? They look as if they should simply unclip, although RealOEM shows a screw that may, or may not, be holding them in place. I don't want to break anything!

Although I haven't removed the wind deflectors (9),  looking at the photos in the Haynes manual, they appear to be attached with the screw (10) to the trim panel upper (1).
