Well, I gotta thank ScottA for starting this thread, I had no idea wind deflectors were available  :embarrassed:
We enjoy a drive with the window down but the pressure waves inside the car if only 1 window is open made it a bit of a pain, having to ensure either both front or a rear window is open at the same time, so when Neil said they stop the 'Helicopter noise' I knew they were for me  :smiley:
Luckily I live close to Climair's retail outlet in Sidcup so rather than pay the £8 ish postage I popped along and bought them over the counter.
They supply some silicon grease to help installation (not sure if it's really needed tho?) and as long as you ensure the leading edge of the deflector is sitting on the outer edge of the door/window seal it really is easily installed in just a few seconds!
I put them on last night so as Climair state the windows should not be opened for 24 hrs to allow them to bed in correctly I can't comment on how they perform, but look's wise they're fine.... In fact as my Gtd is black anyway they're hardly noticeable!

Another thing...... enter 'club197' at the checkout to get a £3.32 discount  :smiley:
