    Could someone be kind enough to snap a picture and get a measurement on the wind deflector that goes on the bottom of a model a windshield?
    My bottom channel was rusted out and I’ve rebuilt most of it but there was very little of that deflector left.
    Just need to know how far it sticks out from the frame or glass to the inside of the car. I’m guessing it’s like 1 3/4”?
    Thanks.

    I don't have a car nearby to measure from. But by memory and rough guess I think youre close.
    Heres a bump to the top if nothing else

    Thanks, I’m guessing it’s not a huge deal as this is no concourse restoration.
    Is is rounded on the edges?
    Any guesses on metal gauge? 16 or maybe 18?
