Purpose and function of the wind deflector

The deflector has been designed for the Wind Deflector Mini R57 Convertible Rear Centre Protection Covering Mesh Screen, with placement in the rear part of the vehicle. Its task is to limit the inflow of air from the back of the cabin when driving with the roof down, which translates into a calmer airflow around the heads and shoulders of the driver and passenger.

This solution allows for:

• reduced cabin noise at higher speeds,
• limitation of unwanted gusts around the neck and shoulders,
• more comfortable driving in lower temperatures with the roof open,
• better conditions for conversation and using the audio system.

The wind deflector is a component dedicated to a specific convertible generation, which promotes precise fitment to the rear body section. The design intended for installation in the rear area ensures stable mounting and compatibility with the factory interior geometry.

As a part from the Other group for the Mini brand, the product complements the vehicle's equipment, improving the ergonomics of using the car with the roof open without interfering with basic mechanical or electrical systems.

In practice, installing such a deflector allows for more frequent use of the open-roof mode, even in less favorable weather conditions, without excessive acoustic and thermal load inside the cabin. This is particularly beneficial for drivers covering longer motorway routes or regularly using the car in suburban traffic.
