Heko wind deflector fitting

Hi all

Anyone who has fitted the heko wind deflectors, did you need to fit the clips that come with them? I can't see how they even fit in the channel but mine are also pretty tight and might not need them. But I also don't want to lose one if I put my window down Whistle 2010 HSE SD4 in Santorini black

I fitted the clips on mine - just push them into the channel. I seem to remember they were quite a tight fit. However, I've noticed that even with the clips fitted the rear deflectors have slipped a few mm's and I've had to push them back up. The front ones are fine, but then they're held in place much better by the front angled section.

I think I did. You need to make sure they're seated right in or they'll interfere with the top of the window

Yep. All sorted. Clips just needed some pressure with a screwdriver to seat them. Thumbs Up 2010 HSE SD4 in Santorini black

Thanks. They're very neat and don't stick out like some others. I do wonder if you get a good flow of air with them though? MY13 Santorini Black SD4 HSE

I fitted them to my car and there's a bit of wind noise with them, dead easy to fit though

Same price that I paid Mr. Green

I found that they reduced the wind noise quite a bit, though not completely. i guess that's inevitable with a car the size of an FL2.
