Looking for wind deflectors. Any difference/preference or recommendations on the above?

neither, took mine off before they ruined the motor, kept scratching the glass and water drips in when window down.

Climair is win win imo i have climair on the zs and heko on the rs.

The climair ones are stronger and will last longer

Climair, easy to do and perfect fit.

I have heko, Quite dark which suits me!

Yeah should add I've got dark smoked ones, looks brilliant on panther black.

I have climair on my mk7, they're great plus they're ford approved =]
The heko ones seem to have a weird shape to them and just don't quite look right to me.

Are anyone elses like this though?



They all come with that cut out, however if I have them fitted so it's just tucked behind the plastic then the windows really, REALLY struggle to close. However if I have them like they are above then the windows go up perfectly.

WTF that looks like they are fitted weird to me

that is not right they should go futher into the seal

get a zoomed out pic mate

It honestly will not go into the window any further.

I'll go take a picture now of the whole thing. But the rest of it is slotted totally into place. I am starting to wonder if something is actually lodged in my door though, the other side slides in further and the window still goes up perfectly.

Right, that's with some proper pushing (more than I've had to with other wind deflectors on other cars. The window still gets up but that deflector is in as far as humanly possible aha. That cu out now sits flush with it at it's deepest point.

Why do the ST ones have the cut out?

oh and they ruin the rubber at the bottom, and in the future they will just fall out as they warp with the weather.

I have a real downer on these things.

Clearly not a fan............

Shows mate, lol.

Mine are out at the bottom like yours mate, but the cut out doesn't show.

They should stick out at the bottom, they're not supposed to have the angled but shoved into the window runners. I just don't seem to be able to get the cut out to fully sit comfortably behind the door mirror plastics.

I'm not pushing on them like a pansy man either.

Lol. There isn't something stuck in there? Possibly the rubber inside being bent back?

I removed them earlier and pushed all the rubber back to make 100% sure there was nothing in there and I couldn't see anything. The door mirror plastics seem in perfect order too. The rubber seal appears to be consistent all the way round too. If I push very hard it will slot in ever so slightly further behind but then the window does a brain fart and dies aha.

had these on both my fiesta's and Katie has them on her focus, don't do anything to the motor its a myth...

my window went up very slow with them and almost stopped near the top as tried to power all way shut.

the first few times mine was slow on one window, but that side has a dodgy motor anyway, it was slow before the climairs
once they bedded in for a day or 2 they were fine

Mine was the same at first. I kept adjusting them till they felt right (done again today) and then shut the window for a couple of days. Driver side one is causing some issues with not quite fitting right but passenger one is bang on.

you didnt let them bed in Steve, or they weren't fitted correctly,

ford wouldn't sell something for all their models and fit them if they were going to wreck motors which they would have to replace under warranty (on new cars)

fitted by my original Ford dealer trainee tea boy sweeper upper which I sacked, so your probably right.

I saw pics of how yours were fitted originally mate, were definitely very wrong! Having the angled bit bent into the runner definitely won't have helped!

Iv looked closely and mine are the same Milky. Weird.

I think it's to give the window a chance to push on the reflector better, stops it slowing down.

I have Climair ones. No problems so far!

Hmmm, since I looked it's now bugging me lol. Its asif they've warped in the warmth. Everytime I put the window down, they slot into place, put it up and it pops out at the front lol.

Mine does it man. I've noticed the most pressure seems to be where thr cut out is and at the top. I'm assuming the cut out allows the presssure to be releaved, if it wasn't there would jam. However maybe if the cutout is slightly to big it pops out... either that or our deflectors are literally only about 5mm out of place.

I just bought these delivered to Australia.......

These will NOT be installed in the window channel but stuck on the outside.

I realize this is an older topic but also technology increases with some amazing sticky products these days.
