I had a factory sun roof wind deflector in my Acura RL. I liked it as it not only cut down on the noise but I could open my sunroof a few inches and the deflector (which was tinted) would keep the sun out of my eyes.

Does anyone here have one installed on their e60? I'd like to see a photo if anyone has done this...

I asked about putting one on my car back when I got it and the idea was poo-pood by everyone. I haven't given up on the idea yet though.

I've been wanting to do this ever since I got my car but never got around to it. The wind noise is terrible once you get past 25-30mph. I've seen pics of installs and the all looked pretty clean. Never saw one in person though.

I had one on my car when I first bought it. It is NOT a popular mod on this forum. The wind deflector does work well, but it does give the car that 1980s Honda Accord look !
