  • 4 door Festiva's & window Rain guard visors

    I keep seeing these door rain visors/deflectors on eBay, but they are for the 4 door version Festiva.
    (4 door Festi's are rumored to exist somewheres in the world!)

    For the life of me, I cannot see why the front one would not work on our 2 door cars.
    I emailed the vendor and the reply came back in broken English .... "not work your car."

    Does anyone have any experience and know if the front doors are actually different?
    (maybe window size?. Some schematics showing measurements?)

    Here is the product on eBay. I think I've also seen the normal smoked gray plastic too.



    OR ---- does anyone have 1-2 sets of used originals they would sell real reasonable?

    Fairly certain the front doors are shorter on the 4/5 door models, because I know that the chassis is not much longer at all.
    Any difference that makes no difference is no difference.

      As I'm sure you know, the door for the 4 door is shorter, front to rear, much like on all 2door-4door variations of cars. I have them on my 3 cars, but certainly do not wish to sell, reasonably or unreasonably. They were pretty expensive considering it is just 2 pieces of "plastic", but like the commercial says, "ability to have the windows down 2-3" when it's raining-priceless". These are Clim-Air, German made for the Mazda 121 and I think they are discontinued. There were some available from the Philippines,I don't remember if it was Junspeed or Ernst, that attach with double sided tape as do those on Ebay. You might check Facebook for Junspeed. I don't know if Ernst is on FB.

        I agree they are desirable. Just hoped buying them would not result in doubling the value of the car!

        Thanks for the input.

          Has anyone tried to adapt these from another car?

            Buy the set, cut and splice to fit the longer door frame, there'll be plenty of material.
            Trees aren't kind to me...

            currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
            94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.
