Re: Wind deflectors.
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.

Re: Wind deflectors.
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.

Re: Wind deflectors.
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.

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

Re: Wind deflectors.
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...
