    9-3 convertible wind deflector installation

    Merry Christmas. I got the wind deflector for my 2001 9-3 convertible
    but it's not clear how to install it. The dealer told my wife (the
    giver) that no install/mounting kit is needed. If he's right (and it
    wouldn't be the first time he's wrong) then I don't see how to do it.

    Anyone have any suggestions so I can enjoy this before tomorrow? :-)

    Oh, it dead easy, just look at it and then look at the space where it's
    supposed to go and it should become obvious.

    The two flat metal lips slide under the rear headrests. The rest is pretty
    evident then - there's two holes on the side panels that take care of the
    rest.

    PS: We have a rain front here in CA, so no [open] convertible weather for
    now...

    No holes in evidence, I fear. I'm assuming they should be somewhere
    near the rear passenger lights on what would be the B pillar in a
    non-convertible.

    Reading the accessory catalog seems to indiccate that a mounting kit is
    required in the 2001 model. Oh well. I'll get it tomorrow, when CA's
    rain is due to arrive...

    Indeed, right there. I wasn't aware the '01 model year was any different.

    By the way, tell people to be careful with the seat controls when you have
    the wind deflector in. It's easy to get the seat into it when people want
    max room and lean angle. And always mount it off before getting the car to
    the car wash - the guys there really like to max the seats out rearwards for
    reasons I never understood, and it can damage the deflector or the mounts.

    PS: By the way, that was one thoughful Xmas present from your wife [unless
    she's the one primarily driving the car, of course :-)]. Be good to that
    woman!
