Nice surprise this morning when my HEKO wind deflectors arrived, nasty surprise when fitting the first one F/N/S it snapped in two places!! I have fitted these before to my old Antara so I expected them to flex as you pop them in, but the amount of flex this needed I was concerned as I tried to fit it. I then heard crack, crack and my one piece deflector became a three piece one. I had read the instructions and followed them the packaging say Freelander 2

I wondered if I am alone with this problem?? 2014 Freelander 2 XS TD4

IIRC ex forum member Jimski on here had that same issue. MY14 Kahn Converted Dynamic - Fuji White Ebony/Pimento Interior
MY15 Xenon Headlight Conversion

MY17 RRS SVR - Estoril Blue Cirrus/Ebony 🪣💺’s

Well photos taken and complaint sent off to them, very disappointed as I did not want the stick on ones, these are more discreet. Don't think I will bother now.

Just removed mine (as per earlier thread). They let in road noise , especially the drivers window. They were fitted to combat the drumming/droning when the rear windows were open, but made little to no difference. They were great at deflecting rain when you had the window open an inch or so, but since removing I have found they restricted so much light. Looked great though.
On removal, there were big chips in the plastic where the lip sits inside the door top. There is constant road noise from the drivers side now, so I reckon they have damaged the seal.

I am thinking that they are more trouble than they are worth, surprised about the seals though, hope they are not damaged, if its just the rubber try treating it and see if it seals better? 2014 Freelander 2 XS TD4

I love mine.

They do cut down the wind noise or 'drubbing' when rear windows are open, and they mean I can have my window partially open when its raining without getting drenched. Updated- Waiting for a Scotland v England 6 Nations home win. 24th Feb 2018

Yes I loved them on the Antara hence fitting them to the FL2 however the flex needed to pop the top in was huge compared to the Antara, did you find the same? 2014 Freelander 2 XS TD4

I had The Same problem, broke the first one :O(. If you have any spare I'll buy one off you

I had the in channel wind deflectors on a previous car and found them a nightmare to fit, first one took about 40 mins the second about 3. I was never happy with them as the window motor always seemed to struggle a little. So this time I went for the self adhesive ones.



I can get away with them on a black car with tinted windows but see why those with different coloured cars don’t like them.
