Wind deflectors.
« on: 18 August 2014, 18:51 »
Having used the search function it's just made me more intrigued. I know they're not everyone's cup of tea. Those of you who have them. Team heko or climair?

They do? I was reading that they stop you getting soaked...also bring fresh air into car without the loud noise associated with the window being open? Still unsure how they will look on the car.

I bought some for my Dads Yaris. Mum gets a really bad throat in cars with air con, so the deflectors mean she can have the window down with no draft.

I had a drive in the car and was really impressed. There was no wind noise at all with the windows closed. I then had the window half way down and there was no buffeting and no water came in when it rained. Personally I wouldn't have they myself. I rarely drive with the window open, so they would be rather pointless for me.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

If you want to avoid getting drenched from water running off a waxed roof,  make sure you wax really well on paintwork around all doors and windows.  I used to get a soaking whenever it had rained but not any more.  :cool:
