Aside from Factor 60 suncream, insect repellent and a pair of un-prescription shades, the Saab 9-3 Convertible Wind Deflector is the one piece of kit you shouldn't leave the house without this summer.Should you find yourself indulging in some topless frolicking this summer - UK weather permitting - then Saab is providing the perfect antidote to the perils of the wind withering your exposed bits. Taking the shapely form of the Saab Wind Deflector, it's available from participating UK Saab dealers now and priced at a special one-off rate of £349.95.Fitting neatly into manufactured slots directly behind the front seats, the Saab Wind Deflector keeps any undesirable chilly nips at bay by redirecting wind turbulence and consequently forcing the air to flow over and around the Saab 9-3.
Effectively, this eliminates those troublesome drafts and accompanying wind chill that can so easily put a dampener on - and often characterises - convertible motoring.After conducting wind tunnel testing, Saab discovered that - with the top down on the 9-3 Convertible - at speeds of 60mph the Wind Deflector minimizes forward wind speed between the front seats and between the doors by at least 75%, only allowing for the sort of wind flow observed whilst walking into a breeze.The Saab Wind Deflector has a transparent black mesh panel construction to enable continued clarity of rear view vision, and when not in use can be folded and stored away in the 9-3's luggage compartment.

Saab has gone to back what it knows best with its new 9-3 range of Saloons and SportsWagons - performance.
Saab has gone back to what it does best with the new 9-3 range, but can it match Audi, BMW and Mercedes?
The headline on the press release was ´Saab helps drive for cleaner heir´, which is funny.
