Operating Instructions

Once properly installed, the Honda 08R71-HL3-A00 Wind Deflector operates passively by redirecting airflow. It is designed to reduce wind buffeting and provide a more comfortable riding experience. No active operation is required.

• Ensure the deflector remains securely attached before each use.
• Regularly inspect the deflector for any damage or loose connections.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and clarity of your wind deflector.

• Cleaning: Clean the polycarbonate surface with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the material. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the deflector and its mounting hardware for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Check that all clamps are tight and secure.
• Storage: If removing the deflector for storage, clean it thoroughly and store it in a protective cover or bag to prevent scratches.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your wind deflector, consider the following:

• Loose Fit: If the deflector feels loose, re-check all mounting clamps to ensure they are fully engaged and tightened according to the installation instructions.
• Reduced Visibility: Ensure the deflector surface is clean and free from dirt, smudges, or scratches. If visibility is permanently impaired due to deep scratches or hazing, replacement may be necessary.
• Excessive Wind Noise/Buffeting: While the deflector is designed to reduce wind, some airflow characteristics are inherent to vehicle design. Ensure the deflector is correctly positioned and securely mounted.
