Wind deflector up with hood up?

[MarkNI]

Hi, just a query, glorious sunshine yesterday warranted the top down and wind deflector up, however with Northern Ireland predictable weather it soon bucketed down so a mad dash to get the hood up I left the deflector up, would this cause any problems to rear visibility/damage the hood in any way? Never noticed anything yesterday...

Thanks, MarkNI

I might try that myself, as I have to tip the seats forward to raise the wind deflector and the same when I lower it......

I have the same, im not massively tall im knocking on the door of 6ft but the celica seats are bulky.

Mine is up all the time too. The only real issue trying to raise the hood in the rain, it gets int he way a little. Nothing that cannot be overcome, by actually turning around in the seat!  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

To get the hood up I found that I pop the catch and the hood springs open about an inch - I can then just reach back with my right arm and grab the right hand corner of the hood to pull up. No turning round involved.

I leave mine up all the time, it rattles sometimes but never gets in the way.

Mines up permanently due to the frenzy bar being in the way, no issues.

I had an annoying vibration for months and could not tell where it was coming from, I took the wind deflector apart and tightened up the internal allen screws and hey presto, it sorted out the vibration, lovely.  s:D s:D
