Ok, so from what I have read, the mirrors in our cars are the same as the C4 corvettes. Is this true?? If it is can I put on a wind deflector like the ones they sell for the C4 corvette? I think that these might make a difference in noise reduction, I know it does on my fathers 87 vette.
Thanks
Dennis

 

yes the mirrors in our cars are the same as the C4 corvettes. but i do not know about the wind deflector. do you have a pic of them where do they go?

 

the vette mirrors are almost the same as ours. the only difference is the vette mirrors are heated. i have seen the wind deflectors on our cars tho. theres a pic of a black bird floatin around with em on it. the cars got a shaker hood. try searchin for shaker hood and it should pop up.

found it

 

Ok well, that answers my question. Thanks, I dont think it looks all too bad, I wonder how well it works on our cars.

 

Has anyone installed heated mirrors from the C4 to a 3rd Gen?

 

dude if you do this you got to tell me how it works. i think it looks verry cool!


i do not think anyone has done it yet. but its been talked about a couple of times. you might want to dp a search


so is this a stock or aftermarket part? also is there a name other than "mirror wind deflector"

 

Did some searching, and found them at Ecklers......Pretty expensive if you ask me.

$59.99 per side

I am looking rite now at Mid America Motorworks C4 magizine. I have an older issue and they are on sale in this issue for $24.99. Not too bad IMO. Maybe worth trying. Here is what the ad says:

"Our Wind Deflectors are a factory-original method of stopping "wind-whistle" on your 1985-96 Corvette! They add aerodynamic efficiency, and allow you full enjoyment of your Corvette's stereo without outside interference. These thick ABS plastic peices fit precisely on your side mirror moorings. Instructions included to install with self-adhesive tape or with factory style rivets. Sold in pairs."

mamotorworks.com is their website I think.

they are now $29.99

damnit, right after i typed up that whole article lol whatever.

 

i dont ever hear any noise from wind. Guess my car might be too loud.

 

does it reduce exhaust noise

 

Not to try and bring this thread from the dead and buried, but here are a couple of pics of the deflectors I took with them on my car. They fit beautifully. Not one complaint about them at all.

 

Interesting

 

looks good... i usually dont notice the wind much until my seals blow out though...

 

Hey alloy, did you notice any difference in noise? I noticed my dads corvette had just glass and no black triangle like the thirdgens do. I was thinking thats why the corvettes need them...

 

I have just the left side on temporarily because I'm wiaiting for my vette heated mirrors to arrive, but yes did notice less "whistling" from the left window area.

what company did you get yours from? how are your held on?

 

Got them off Ebay. Do a search for this "C4 CORVETTE SIDE MIRROR WIND DEFLECTORS AERODYNAMIC" I can't post a link to the auction, this is the best I can do for you.

Cost me $27.50 plus $5.50 shipping. They can be attached with either screws/pop rivets, or double sided tape. I used tape for now. The tape and screws come in the kit.
