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 .

I've got heko ones, no issues at all, no increased noise, no issues with mirror folding or glass catching the deflector.
Love keeping the windows ajar at night for some fresh air.
Not grey and not a hatch lol
