Rear deflecter

[AJ]

I'm thinking about getting a rear window deflecter for the back of my Liberty.
Does anyone have any experience with them?
Do they work or are they just for looks?

I couldn't really tell you the difference with it off/on since I installed mine just a few days after I bought the KJ. However, I did self install the deflector and you will have to drill holes into your roof!

It comes with a guide and some other tools to install it correctly. I like the look of it though!

I think they look nice...it requires drilling to install, right?

Nice tires, both of them.

Thanks. I am running the Pathfinder tires (Jeep on the left) and have found that the BFG A/T's have a good grip over what I run. However, as a very limited off-roader, I don't find myself needing anything more. But I will say my next pair will be MT's.

Back to the subject:
The rear air deflector does not remove any mud that comes up and over the roof (if you are going that fast....)

Ooo...scary. I think I'll wait until I return stateside and have the proper tools before I try that. O

Whoever drives that is one LUCKY guy.

I dunno. The one on the left looks good to me! I especially like the view from the front!

Those wheels are just downright good looking!

I installed the deflector myself too....definatly a bit scary drilling those holes in the roof. The bit size was almost 1/2''....thats a big hole!!! and I do this for a living......Airframe Sheetmetal Machanic for 15 years now.

Couldn't jeep make it so that it could be mounted on top of the rear flipglass hinges. I am sure they already have holes for screws, we could take the cap off (if there is) and remove the screws, screw the deflector in between that and put the cap back. I guess they didn't think of that when they manufactured this, or maybe flipper glass could get in the way? :-k

Just another way to get you to have the stearlership install it for Buco Dollars!!

I also agree with the mounting on the window hinges, in fact the first time I considered getting one I was certain thats where it would mount.
