I have just got a T6... conversion starts soon... I’d happily take that bra off your hands.... :). New subscriber here... best regards mate! Howard ... south west UK
After watched your vid on wind deflector I have looked on Ebay and sent a message to supplier just to make sure they will fit my 2017 t6 Kombi. Yours look great
Hi Robert, heres the link to the deflectors I bought. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T5-T6-Transporter-Multivan-Van-2003-onwards-2-pc-Wind-Deflectors-HEKO-Tinted/161702311119?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Hi Robert and of course Lewis and Tanya, hope i have spelled it right! Can you offer me a clue how to order the wind deflectors please, amazon and ebay seems to be confusing me. I have a beautiful T6 two tone trendline, like you I am really blown away with it. Thank you.
Go to a company that fits vehicle vinyl raps. You can get clear vinyl or a coloured rap fitted to the bonnet if you want. A vehicle sign company would be able to cover that small bonnet as well. Or you can do it yourself. You might also want consider getting a few clear strips fitted to the inside bottom of the door aperture sills. This would protect the paint work from foot scuff marks getting in and out of the van.
I had a bonnet bra fitted, but I am putting in the Wind deflectors when dry. Only concern I had was fitting the external thermal blinds over the front door panels - would it fit with Wind deflectors. But thanks to your video I see the deflectors go inside the Door footprint ! Thanks reassured now 👍Subscribed
Hi Lewis, thanks for the video. However I was foolish enough to use a Karcher window vac on my car. A tiny bit of grit lodged in the window vac resulted in me needing a complete bonnet and roof and boot respray, so beware. OK I used it on the paintwork to remove water before it evaporated.
Hi Heres the link to the deflectors I bought. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VW-T5-T6-Transporter-Multivan-Van-2003-onwards-2-pc-Wind-Deflectors-HEKO-Tinted/161702311119?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
How are your wind deflectors doing ? Mind don't seem to want to stay put, odd time wife will open her window and the deflector will drop down. Taken them off may add more 3m tape and try again.
Hi Lewis....perfect, just fitted my Team Heko's after watching your vid here...many thanks indeed :) From your video, I noticed that you have a sort of rubber wind deflector in front of your Pop-Top. Just wondering if it is effective as the wind noise from the front of our Pop-Top drives us nuts. Further, was it easy enough to fit?...3M I'm guessing and where did you get yours from if you don't mind me asking. Cheers and safe travels, John PS...absolute stonking van!!!!
Hi John, It was fitted by Status 1, I'm guessing it's 3M backing. It does make a big difference. I've definitely noticed a difference. Give Phil a call at Status 1 and enquire about it. The Hekos are perfect for keeping the van ventilated whilst camping 👍
Lewis...Cheers, bud much appreciated. I'll give them a call as I'm also after a Reimo Awning Rail. I'll tell them you made the recommendation. Thanks again, hope you enjoyed the NEC, we were there the day after....only had time to see hall 5, which took us all day! :) Cheers, John
+Lewis Von John To protect the front bonnet from stone chips, get a paint protection film put on by professionals, like those who do tinted windows, it is invisible just like a clear coat.
Hi Lewis,Phil form Status 1 Campers,have you tried the heko bonnet stone chip protector made from black plastic,or if your passing i have some here you can offer up see if you think it suits,thanks for the shout out for the van mate,much appreciated,van still looks the dogs you know what!!!
+Status 1 Camper Conversions Hi Phil, no worries on the shout out. Im sending all the VW Canpervan questions your way lol. Hope it generates 50k (last time I looked) new business. Yep I'm looking into the Heko bonnet protector and quite alot of people on UA-cam have mentioned the clear vinyl protector. So I'm not sure what to go for right now. I'll keep you posted
I think the bra looks terrible, you can get clear panels for high wear spots, so you should be able to get a large one for the bonnet and nobody would know at a glance. Worth some exploration, most new cars have them fitted in fronfron of wheel arches etc.
You dont always need to use the clips, the sticky tape will hold, less chance of scratching, if you do use clips the 'barbed' bit faces inwards to the car.
The sticky tape used for my model (Prius Gen 2 - 2009) was not that effective. It probably would have stayed on just a little while so I decided to use the clips. I did clean the inside etc... But it was so thin I guess.
You claim that you have spent over £50k in a camper van and you can’t have any ventilation? You should be starting this video and recommend people not to make the same mistakes you have. Let me clarify a few things to you. Condensations you tackle with ventilation, insulation, dehumidifier and not with a cheap eBay morning vacuum cleaner. You should have bought a quality bra bonnet instead of going cheap and waste everyone’s time in this video.

Hi Lewis, thanks for the link for the wind deflectors, I ordered them this morning :)
Thanks for sending me the link for the Heco wind deflectors, arrived yesterday :)

Hi Lewis send me a link to Ebay for the correct Heko wind deflectors. I will see if I can find it and forward it to you.

Nice vid, just ordered myself a pair of these after wanting some for a while, and seeing this. Subscribed 👌
Bought spare wheel lock yesterday from T6 Forum, have you got one fitted ? Believe spare wheel theft can be an issue !
I had a bonnet bra fitted, but I am putting in the Wind deflectors when dry. Only concern I had was fitting the external thermal blinds over the front door panels - would it fit with Wind deflectors. But thanks to your video I see the deflectors go inside the Door footprint ! Thanks reassured now 👍Subscribed
I recommend running the car blower on auxiliary battery as sometimes in europe the mosquitoes will be flying in with dropped windows

That's unfortunate. Thanks for the tip 👍
Got them on my Ford custom tourneo mini bus they are great
Hi, very useful video thanks. Do you have a link to the exact deflectors you bought by any chance? Thanks

Have you still got your camper
Hi Camper man, yep we still have it. Just had a oil + filter change 👍
Ours came with glue not clips. Any notes?
Hi Lewis, thanks for the video, Please can you let me know what the model number is for the deflectors. Thanks
The cover needs te be warmed up a bit so it gets wrinkel free. Then it will look much better.
Have you considered paint protection film for your bonnet and bumpers? Good video , thanks
+Phil Simpson yep just looking into it now
It is possible to remove them if I get bored? And how can I remove the clips?
Just tried fitting mine to my Sprinter........couldn't close the windows after! 🫣😝 Gonna try again after watching this! 🙏☺️

Thank you for sharing, the bonnet cover/ bra looks like armored lol. Do tell me, does it provide sound deadening?
I wouldn't really know. It's way up front, so can't say if it makes a difference really. I'm guessing it would
Do you get extra wind noise when driving with the deflectors in place?
Nope, I've not noticed any since fitting them

Get some clear vinyl wrap 'professionally' applied to the front of this beauty to keep it that way.
patagonia rules !!! and paramo too for me ;)
+Matus Kicka I do like Patagonia gear and Paramo 👍
