What is this? where does it go???
« on: October 21, 2014, 08:55:34 pm »
Bought Heko wind deflectors and installed them with the sticky tape they had on them, and then i found these laying in the plastic bags aswell, and now wondering where does these metal tabs go??

If you fit the deflectors then you insert them as well to hold them in place. I just place them on the top of the window then do the window up but with electrick Windows you have to put it up in steps and may have to push the window a little as well to help it close. They will pop in place so you will know when they are in. I hope this makes sense, let me know if you do it  :happy2:

I always put the bits that stick out opposite to the deflector so they go into the door. What tabs do you mean? :confused:

The logo goes to the back of the car  :smiley:
You need to just go in steps putting the window up and try push it at the same time, I got my missus to push it up from both sides of the window lol. It does take a bit of patience as my window kept going down again  :fighting:

i get the window all the way up when gently pulling the deflector away from the window. guess it will take shape over night?

I just kept putting the window up and down until all was good as a day or two after I fitted my first set the window just kept coming down lol. So are they all fitted now or are you still struggling with the clips?  :smiley:

yes they are all installed with the clips ( exept one front clip that i can't get to stick ) guess i can live without the one clip. only the rear windows will come back down, will leave them up for a day or so and see how it will work :)

Never even fitted those clips on my previous cars, just slotted the deflectors into the slot and were spot on
Them clips will damage the door/rubbers
Threw mine away :happy2:
