Title: Wind deflectors - do they work?
Post by: zooankski on November 20, 2017, 08:53:16 PM: Does anyone on here have these fitted (regardless of being on a Tig or not) . Do they actually work?
I like to have the windows open a bit most days but once up to speed I have always had air buffeting in the car and it hurts my ears. Just wondering if this type of thing will stop that?

In the Sharan, I open the rear-most same sided electric 6+7 seated panel window; it stops the ‘popping/dub-dub’ noise.

No help on that including deflector noise, sorry!

Don't really want to spend out if they won't work though.

I was supplied with some metal clips but these were not needed to hold them in position.
Simply wiped the window channel with IPA and pushed in to place.
I had to pull on them a bit to get the windows to go all the way up without auto going down.
Left them for 1 hour with closed windows and rubbers mould to the profile so windows now working normally.

Post by: zooankski on November 24, 2017, 10:20:53 PM: They are Heko tinted and cost about £30 from ebay so actually quite reasonable. It was peeing down on the way to work tonight so i tested them in the wet and as Greggers has said, no misting, no rain inside and a nice bit of fresh air in the car.
