Deflectors

Hurdy,

I agree I HATE the water running into the car - was considering looking aroud for some myself for the winter.

Regards,

They dont actually look too bad there tbh. Still not enough to convince me to get some but they certainly dont stand out. How easy are they to fit and remove???

I think they just shove up into the window seal.

T_T i got to say either your very old or im very young.. but that bird is a minger no matter how you look at her!!

My SWMBO actually looks similar to Sarah Palin.  I've actually just posted a pic of her somewhere else on the forum.

Ooops! bit older mature than I would usually go for but very pretty none the less

No worries.  With age comes experience, as they say!

I would only buy the deflectors if the rest of my interior mods were the same as TT's. 

They are horrendous.  My father in law had them, and they were agony.  One day I snipped the buggers off!

One issue I've heard of with these wind-deflectors is that it can cause extra strain on the electric-window motors, (causing premature wear and/or failure) as you've obviously made the window runners much tighter near the top!

Don't know where you heard that, but it is nonsence.  The leccy window motors actually have an "override" function for that very purpose.

Just keep the window shut until the water has run off the roof!
Always remind me of old men driving years ago those wind deflectors, or cab drivers in Turkey!!
