Should I buy wind deflectors?

[m4ttn1]

Hi guys,

Just a quick question from me. Should I get wind deflectors for my 5 door mk3 Leon FR?

Does anyone have a 5 door hatch with them on (ideally in grey - I know that's a stretch), just so I can see for reference before I purchase some.

Here's a pic of mine for reference

All the best, Matt

They have their use, but I don't like the look of them. I have used them in the past on other cars though.

Good luck with your choice!

I personally don’t like them either so I wouldn’t fit them. I don’t drive my car with the windows open (I always have the A/C on) so don’t feel I’d have a need for wind deflectors.

@m4ttn1 - I don’t know if it would be an issue with the mk3 / mk3.5 Leon, but with the Leon’s sister car - the mk7 / mk7.5 Golf - I remember reading on one of the Golf forums some time ago of the door mirrors fouling the wind deflectors when locking / unlocking the car with mirror auto-fold function activated. It wasn’t all brands of wind deflector where this was an issue (sorry, I can’t remember which brand(s) it was an issue with), but maybe something to be aware of and consider if you have auto-fold mirrors.

Nice looking car by the way .
