Found this supplier near me & they seem cheap enough don't know about quality though as obviously not genuine GM.

I only tend to see Heko on ebay.
They seem to be the most readily available.
If you buy them Ian, and they turn out to be decent quality, then I can add the supplier to the suppliers thread.

They look pretty expensive.
I tried team Heko directly ( one of my front ones is damaged ) they want 50 quid for the set of four delivered.
I've emailed them because the order shows a warning about European delivery. Brexit I guess..
That delay was another stroke of luck.
First I found these

Then the heko ones I was after, at half the factory price

I was mainly looking at the sunroof one, I've seen them changing hands for over £100.

Hadn't considered that.
In that case it is a very good price.
I wouldn't worry about the quality. The climair brand is featured heavily on autodoc so it must be decent.

Yeah, they look to be good quality. It says that they are made in Germany so at least it won't be chinese tat.

I bought my side deflectors when I got this car, they were a decent price, suited the colour, and looked good to me.
The plus point for me is cracking the window open without getting wet -it's Scotland after all
.
I started on two wheels, don't laugh, a Honda ss50!
Since I started driving cars I've always had the window open, I like to hear what's going on outside.The radio gets turned down low in town traffic so I can concentrate on all these people.
Now, I know the seals get damaged etc
I think it's because the adhesive tape lets go and the deflector moves frequently. I'll see if I can suss it out when the new ones arrive. They might just need more/different tape...
