Arlo, et al:
I found that there's a way of mounting the wind deflectors so their hinges
are toward the front of the windshield frame that allows the side curtains
to clear on my +4. I don't have any side mirrors, just on the wings. I have
to swing the wind deflectors forward to open + close the doors, but can
then reach out through the side curtain window and pull them back into place.
