    New Rola Rack wind deflector

    Had to bring the little guy inside for a break and some juice... so figured I'd post some pics of what i've done so far.

    I traced the outline, cut it out, and now I have it clamped in place. Next step is to try melting/bending the edges to conform to the rack.... then drill some hols and it should be done. Might throw some 3M around it too so it's really held in place.

    And a plastic rivet on each side just to keep it a little extra secure so the ends don't try to "pop" up over time, especially during the summer when the 3M tape will get really hot.

    lol. bending that lower edge was a PITA.

    Looking forward to seeing if/how it affected wind noise from the rack.
