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.

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)

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!

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

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




Cheap imitations? My climair havent allowed any water in, infact it deflects some. I couldnt tell u if theyre scratching the window as Im not taking them off lol.
