Title: Wind Deflectors - HEKO or Climair?
Post by: mrbeck on February 19, 2012, 06:07:25 pm: Hi folks,

Looking at fitting some wind deflectors to my Golf and wondering which brand is best? HEKO are the much cheaper option, but are they cheap and nasty?

Cheers!

They sure will help with that! If mk5 are anything like T4 / T5s as soon as you open the windows a load of rain water usually drenches the leccy window switch. Not a problem with defletors fitted

Post by: mrbeck on February 25, 2012, 05:55:19 pm: Cheers VC,

Based on those pics it will be the Climair ones for me. Want them to sit as flush to the car as possible, and the Team HEKO ones look like they stick out a bit more.

Post by: mvb12 on February 25, 2012, 06:17:57 pm: just had a look at the 2 links.....

Hi, I fitted my deflectors yesterday, I'm having a bit of bother in trying to get the windows to travel all the way up with them installed. Am I right in saying the deflector has to sit inside the window runner itself or not?
