Wndscreen side flaps

According to this supplier...

Perspex (acrlyic) is 10 times the impact strength of glass and Polycarbonate is 200 times glass.
I bought some polycarbonate sheet to make my wings but like a lot of things these days, I haven't got round to cutting and fitting it!

Reviving this rather old thread............... :yawn:

I've had the hinges and sheets of polycarbonate in my box of bits since 2009 so decided it may be time to have a go at fitting them.

Any more feedback or recommendations from those of you who have now fitted them yourselves or have them fitted to your cars.

My mirrors get in the way a bit as their mounted close to the bodywork, but I ain't going to be moving or changing them just for the wind flaps so will have to workaround the best I can do.

Any advice on the best angle for deflection of the wind?
