Do bear in mind that if you can find a used one, within reason, whatever you pay you are likely to recoup most or all when you sell.

And you get to use it in the meantime, Summer is (allegedly) coming !

Try Gumtree or facebook marketplace. Someone sold one for £50.00 a week or so ago, but I very, very much doubt one will crop up at that price again until deepest December, if ever. I got mine for £100 off E-Bay.

You are shopping at the wrong time of year.

Edit: All of the above relates to the Volvo OE wind deflector.

Happy to keep looking as ridiculous prices of £350-£500 ish (currently ebay) are unlikely to be recouped! Not an essential so will just keep an eye out for one.

Absolutely, extortionate pricing.

Bide your time, the going, and IMHO fair rate recently on ebay has been around the £100 to £125 mark.

Wait long enough and two will come along at the same time !!!

On ebay check out the, advanced, sold listings option. That will give you an idea of what they realistically should sell for.

Well worth getting, they are a game changer. We use our car in the winter with the roof down and the heater set low blowing into the footwell at 24 degrees and the missus doesn't moan (too much) !

Good luck !

There’s an aftermarket one in excellent condition available via Marketplace for £50 which I might go for initially while waiting for an OEM one to come up at a reasonable price. I agree £100-150 is fine for a good OEM one bit 350+ is just madness!

I can see how it would reduce wind drag etc hence definitely want one. Recently bought the C70 - it’s 17 years old but still looks good and drives well albeit a little battle scarred. Same engine and vintage as my beloved XC90

You will likely never be entirely happy until you get an OE one.

The zip open panels are rather useful for getting things on and off the back seat/s.

Karl only breaks Mk1 convertibles and the windbreaker from one of those will not fit.
