Unless one is visually-impaired, one can easily see through the mesh. I'm pretty sure that the BMW engineers know what they are doing. There is no glare at all unlike some plastic thingy.

Like I said, it should have been a no-brainer to put something clear and non-mesh as a deflector, so the very fact said engineers decided to go the opposite route and use something else, i.e. the OEM one, means that such clear/non-mesh method is not as effective and/or safe.

Also, not sure how easily-removable these aftermkt deflectors are, that is another consideration. Don't want something glued there permanently esp during cold weather when top-down is not appropriate.
