Hi Scott! If you can find a 98-99 top they come with the deflector. I have a broken 98 roof that has a deflector I will be transferring to a 96 roof to have a spare.
Posting a few pics for folks who don't know what we are talking about.
It hasn't rained much in Cali lately, but I just ordered a new frame seal for when it eventually does. I figure after 10 years of service, a seal that large is going to leak somewhere. $98 at GetBMWparts.com.
When I pull the old top today, I'll take some deinstallation pictures as it is way easier than pulling a sunroof cassette. I can see why folks do Sunroof deletes as far as weight is concerned, as they are more then twice the weight of a Cali top.
I look forward to enjoying my California Top in California.
