<p>Markinnz: </p> <hr /> <div>{{intro-notes}}<br /> <br /> <br /> == Introduction ==<br /> <br /> <br /> Consider installing wind deflectors on the side windows. Very handy items!<br /> <br /> <br /> == Benefits, issues and risks ==<br /> <br /> <br /> They reduce wind noise when cruising with the windows open, and enable you to open the windows a bit even when it is raining.<br /> <br /> <br /> Also, having your windows opened a bit when off-roading is a good practice, because it enables you to hear better if a strange sound occurs.<br /> <br /> <br /> When off-roading, an exterior sound can indicate the following issues of immediate importance:<br /> * A tyre puncture;<br /> * A sudden mechanical issue;<br /> * A tree branch getting tangled in the underbody;<br /> * An angry animal (or an angry land owner) approaching you;<br /> * A land mine exploding under you or under a nearby vehicle;<br /> * etc.<br /> <br /> <br /> Sounds are also useful to better ascertain the terrain that you are driving on (rocks grinding, wheels slipping, etc.).<br /> <br /> <br /> '''General notice:''' Beware that it is not recommended to have the windows open just a little bit when you are driving on hard gravel, due to excessive vehicle vibrations which resonate hard on the opened window glass. Either keep the windows closed, or opened almost to the end, so that the bottom of the window frame dampens the vibrations towards the glass.<br /> <br /> <br /> Original (OEM) wind deflectors are the best fit (and it is a tight fit indeed). Clearances on the top of the window frames are really tight for the moving side windows, and you do not want to harden the life of your electric window motors more than you need.<br /> <br /> <br /> [https://bigjimny.com/index.php/forum?view=topic&amp;catid=6&amp;id=28470&amp;start=24#163819 This] forum topic contains all the necessary information, like the part number, scanned installation manual, experiences, etc.<br /> <br /> The Suzuki part number is : 00800-87530-000<br /> <br /> {{Edited}}<br /> [[Category:Body]]<br /> [[Category:Modifications]]</div>
