Wind deflectors
« on: 16 April 2023, 16:33 »
What do we all think? Worth having or annoying waste of time? Had some on my a6 avant but they seemed to be noisier and weren’t the best fit…..

Had some Heko ones on my last car and they were too noisy as they squashed the seals so was loathed to get any until I saw the Auto Clover ones that do not use the window channels. Been on a few weeks now and so glad I went for them and for £30 for front and rear. Also an added bonus it they are the only ones I have found where you can still use the folding mirrors without them catching.

Hahaha brilliant

I’m still unsure whether to bother again…. How do they attach if they don’t use the window
Channel?

Shows you in the link, there is an installation Video. It is tape, very strong tape and much easier to fit then the in channel type. Now I can have the windows cracked and not get the window switches soaked when I use the wipers.
