Wind Deflectors 5DR

[DavidSanderson]

Hi,

Has anyone else got wind deflectors on there Leon 5DR?

I can't seem to fit the clips supplied as there doesn't seem to be enough room within the window channel?

This is no big deal, however the only thing I am worried about it the tops of the windows getting scratched. Has anyone else managed to fit the clips?

Put the clips where you want them,then press them home with a screwdriver or a blunt tool.

They don't seem to fit mate, don't want to put too much pressure in case I break the deflector!

Did yours fit okay?

 

[Omodhos]

Yes mine fitted, they are tight fit in the window channel between the channel and the deflector

Thanks mate!

Will have another try tomorrow! Have you had any issues with the windows getting scratched?

Did you have to use quite a bit of bruite force!

 

[DavidSanderson]

Also just to check,

Did you have the metal clips with the Team Heko's!

Thanks mate! Appreciate the help.

Same clips,no problems with windows. They are quite strong

It's a must to have the clips fitted in the rear ones especially, had some on a previous car which I didn't fit, I was driving along one day and by accident I lowered a rear window and it just was gone.
Front ones hold in fairly well due to their shape.

Cheers for the help mate managed to squeeze the clips in tonight, they are slightly visable if you shine a light through the deflector but they are held in much better!

Yes mate, they hold a lot better now. Was just curious as I didn't want to damage the window rubbers.

Team Heko mate, they look great and add a bit of a 'sportier' look to the car!

Just another quick one!

Has anyone noticed an increase in wind noise inside the cabin with the wind deflectors fitted when the windows are up? Just curious, thought it was louder tonight but then again it was slightly windy outside!

Or am I just being pedantic! My OCD goes crazy when I get these things in my head!

I think it's OCD

Buying a new car has done me more harm than good!

Afraid to park it anywhere and constantly thinking about things that could potentially go wrong! I got out today with my work shoes on and caught the sill with my shoe! Needless to say the polish got whipped out on my dinner break!

Honestly, you couldn't make it up!

I think most people are like that,I know I am

On my SC I couldn't fit them ad the top of the windscreen, so I used the channel next to the pillar instead and they work fine

 

[DavidSanderson]

What do you mean by top of the windscreen damo74?

They should just slot into the existing window channels, are you using Team Heko ones?

I live in fear of the dreaded CARPARKS!!!!!
I can part a mile away from the shop, with loads of empty spaces. I can almost guarantee somebody will be next to me when I'm finished. I've also seen people trying to park as close as they can to the entrance, in the mean time I have parked up and walked from the other side of the car park and still get in there before them.

I thought I noticed more wind noise since fitting the wind deflectors but it could just be me...

That's what I do too! I'll also look out for any spaces at the end, so I only have one side of my car at the potential mercy of somebody who doesn't care!
