Title: Team Heko Wind Deflectors...
Post by: t20lau on February 04, 2013, 08:23:57 am: Hey guys,

Anyone got these fitted?

I ordered some, fitted them (kinda) ... Basically each deflector comes with 2 metal clips to go on the inside of the window channel! I'm stuggling to clip both in, any tip or advise?

Also, are ppl who have them experiencing a slight scratching sound when the window is passing the metal clips?!

Thanks in Advance,
Tom

Just wasnt too confident as there is only a little bit of double sided tape to hold them up!

Never though about it tbh and I know a lot of people don't bother with them because of this. I will be removing mine as i am having a 50% window tint fitted. :happy2:
