Default Wind deflector mechanical help

My 993 wind deflector mechanical connectors seems to be broken but I can't find anything online to show me a close up of whatvit should look like.

it dropped down and smacked me in the head when I was lowering the top

Looks like something is not right here but I bought a second used screen and it had same look,
This piece looks fine
When the two mate it seems like this shouldn't be just a slide on, seems like a rivit or push pin is broken.
Temporary fix with Porsche grade rubber band. Will source proper Schwarz next time.


looking for pictures of proper wind deflector hardware and a source for parts.

the factory windscreen mounts are prone to breaking....

no affiliation, etc.

Is the broken piece available standalone?

Or does anyone have a broken one with just the red handle side -- I could have a buddy machine a fix for both screens.

thanks,

Mike

Hi Mike
Do you still have the 993 cab w/ the factory wind deflector shown in the pics? If you do, would you please help me to figure out the missing pieces?
I have the deflector with both the passenger side hinge and driver side adaptor except I have to order the ball pin and pivot but have no clue how this all comes together with the Top's mechanical hinge arm.
Can you send some photos on where and how the deflector's hinges (L+R) get connected? I also don't have those M6x16 pan screws which I supposed to need 4x according the mechanical dwg.
Any help would be much appreciated.
thx
joe
