Heko wind deflectors

Post by gollfy »

Hi
Does anyone have these on their van?

Bought a pair and instructions are not clear, already cracked one slightly so really annoyed:(

Any ideas you can give me to fit correctly?

Do you have to use the clips that are provided? Also should you windows be able to go all the way up?

How did you manage to crack them?? They're pretty straight forward: they fit in the channel where the glass goes, towards the outer edge. The provided clips are not great, but then push up into the channel with the spike facing inwards/flat edge agains the glass with the double sided tape sandwiched between. You can balance a couple of clips on the glass then wind up the window gently to seat them. I used alternative plastic clips from a Ford from one of the forums but I'm sure yo can find some on eBay

I ended up running a bead of glue round the edge where the double sided tape goes, then sliding the deflector in and winding the window up to hold it in place while the glue sets.
They're glued to the window seal now but are rock solid and don't slip out like they did before.
