That's about right. IMHO, it would be a good MOD--almost eliminates wind noise and may improve gas mileage. You can find the BENEVENTO online for $50. I got mine at a PT Cruiser show and paid $60 installed. Good luck.

Got a Benevento Deflector for both of our PTs from Maggie at Race & Street

Default Re: opinons on sunroof deflectors

I've been thinking of putting deflectors on both the roof and the windows but this past winter with removing the snow and ice from the car, I began to wonder if having deflectors would be more of a pain than a blessing when it comes to cleaning off the car. Any ideas/experiences from those living and driving in snow country?

I have one on my 03 Gt. We get 70+ inches of snow.

I park the car outside, I have to wipe the snow off anyway, it isnt a big deal, just have to clean under the back face of it.

I found the window deflectors (I have the ones that fit in the window channel) help - the top part of the window is clear because the deflector shields it.

Cool Re: opinons on sunroof deflectors

I could be wrong, but the idea of a sunroof is either "sun": or, you run the dash fan to get true fresh air circulation when the rear end of the sun roof is popped up.

The new Couture is my first sun roof, and the extra noise is negligable.
Not much more than the vert roof.
Just my 2 cents.

I have a Benevento as well. Easy to install and stays put. I recently removed it though as i like the way it looks without it better. But the way i never leave anything alone.....i may reinstall it and think it looks better with it
