- I really like Team Heko Wind Deflectors. Here's how to install them on Seat Leon Cupra R (or any other car). They subtly enhance the look of the car and make driving with windows ajar a more pleasant experience by deflecting wind and rain.
Thanks man, this helped!! No more of that awful wub wub wub noise haha
Had mine on for almost 4 years now and they have lasted well. One thing that they cause though is scratches on the glass where it inserts into the frame of the door. As it pinches the deflector. Other than that. Great.
Just bought some of these for my Fiat so thanks for the heads up, will definitely be putting some adhesive felt or rubber inside mine to prevent damage.
@@CrisisOnACanoe Did you put that over the clips? Thats what I fear the most....the clips scratching the glass.
Had these on my last van, lasted years. New Van arrived with these already fitted but 3 weeks later one fell off down the road due to whoever installed relying on the adhesive alone, the clips are essential to keeping these fitted tight
Why you didn't show how to putting on clips inside!!!
The clips don't do anything on my golf 3 door. I can't secure them and they won't go all way in and when I close window it hits them and makes god awful noise. So took them off. The actual defector doesn't fit that well either down by the mirror area.
I don't know if I should install these. I want them because I don't like the rain dripping off the roof all over my window switches, but part of the reason I open the windows is to give a breeze to the dogs in the boot. Would they stop the breeze reaching the boot?
Lol, quit smoking. Thanks for the video.
Thank god, a straightforward no nonsense you tube video
Great video. I never knew how to install them stupid clips so I threw them away and let the tape kind of secure it. May just order another set now as mine are out of shape a bit.
I've put it on my car today and I wasn't really happy with the results.. it jammed the window that at first didn't fully close
I’ve ordered some for my FK8 Type-R. They should arrive tomorrow but I’ve read that once installed you need to leave them in place with the windows up for an hour (ideally overnight) did you try this?
Essential for vehicle stealth camping and when u leave the dog to nip to the shops it looks like the windows closed😁
(These days if you tie the dog up outside the shop they get nabbed)😣
Installed mine today on my skoda, the fit was SUPER snug, I had to push it in on the right on side, then bend the wind deflector to get the left hand side in, then worked my way from left to right to get the middle pushed in.. It still came with the clips so I used them, but the fit left zero wiggle - I installed these 8 years ago and they weren't as snug, I think they've updated the designs on some of these!
Mine have been stolen off my car with the windows up. I'm a little confused how, and I want to buy some more. Just wondering if anyone knows a way to stop them getting stolen again please. They must be poor because they only cost me £30.
You have a great broadcasting voice
Haha thanks you're the first to say that. I don't really like the sound of my own voice on the videos. Thanks for commenting.
Very good video👍🏾helped me and managed to fit mine on my mk2 in 15 mins, was clueless about the clips before didn’t know they were this easy to push in always thought they were tricky.
Where did you get the clips from? What to search for? Thank you
At 4.21 rear right deflector not corectly fitted . Must fit in the fore corner.
Ilie Grigore what you mean ?
@@kylel8516 the right corner of the rear deflector isn't snugly into the corner of the window frame. The deflector needed pushing horizontally to the right towards the engine end
Any idea how to remove clips when taking these off?
Just lower the glass and pull the wind deflector out of the door, those clips are pretty useless.
The supplied instruction leaflet shows the clip with the spike out towards the car not in. The spike should bite into the reflector not the door rubber seal.
I just watched a video from Heko before watching this one and they had the spike facing into the car to bite into the rubber seal, makes sense as that would make sure the clip cant fall out, if the spike was facing the guard, the guard and clips could all fall out together from the wind at speed if the adhesive didnt bite due to dirt etc
Very helpful no messing about video , great voice too man , you should be on the radio 👍👍👍
I came here to say that. Definitely a radio voice
So i got mine, fairly quick install but its really dumb how it says on the little pink slip to put one clip on the side next to the mirrior and one at the top, but the HEKO youtube vids put both clips on the top really confusing
This guy has done a decent video why have people given him a thumbs down!!!!!!
Possible for his comments on quitting smoking ? WHY mind your own business.
Thanks for sharing I was nervous at first but I put mine on my Hyundai i20 looks great on a white car.....👍
Did you have rears as well? Just fitted mine and the backs don't seem to want to stick on the outsides
Very helpful bro, thanks
Glad it helped!
I smoke so its so annoying when its raining and the water gets in through 1 inch . Perfect vid, ordered mines from E bay
Hey, thanks! This video was exactly what I needed - I've just bought a full set of these things, but they only came with instructions in German and Italian! I'm actually looking forward to the installation process now.
Got these today for my Civic Type R FK8 (2019). The front ones fit fine, although the brackets won’t fit once the deflector is in. The back deflectors won’t fit at all.
I have these for my B5.5 Passat. Bought from Team Heko. They do look good. However they arrived with only 4 clips. Not a problem, I just bought 12 identical clips. Now comes the problem. The clips do not fit into the window channels. Pushing them to the extent that if I was stronger I would have physically lifted the side of the car up and turned it over with the amount of force used trying to get them in. At their best they protrude a half inch from the channel and will pop out if the window goes anywhere near them. The clips are the same as yours and pretty universal from what I can gather. They are simply way deeper than the channels and will never fit in, and these are Team Heko's own clips. Any tips before I happy slap a passing pensioner with them?
How are the clips listed on ebay?
Did you only get 4 clips for four wind deflectors?
The deflectors only came with 4 clips for 4 deflectors. I bought a further 12 clips. Now have 3 on each of the fronts and 2 on each of the rears. The deflectors are holding on and working quite well now. I'm thinking the door rubber being 15 years old didn't like the clips very much but eventually they have settled in. Really does transform the look of the car and really surprised me with how much the actual wind noise when windows closed, hasn't really increased. My stepdad saw them and wanted some for his Skoda Yeti and he is 74 lol. All is good now.
If you look on the eBay link below they also do smaller clips. Bottom of page "people also bought"
The ones I got from heko don't fit on my 3 door golf either. No way to push them up and window hits them
Use plastic tools on trim/rubber etc. Screwdrivers etc will easily damage and mark soft plastics👍 Just ordered some for my MK1 Cupra and using 3M tape and not those clips.
Random question but how did they do with only using tape? i want to fit some to my car but not a fan of having them metal clips wedged in my window grove potentially causing damage
My deflectors just came today, took one look at them metal clips and thought no way are they going in, look like they will rip the seals to bits 😳
@@vIMONST3RIv Yeah thanks for clearing that up, im not a fan and thats just made my choice better. Did yours come lined with M3 tape also?
SCOTTCOD4 yes mate, got about two lines of double sided tape, thing is I’ve got a 3 door golf which obviously means the doors are longer so the wind deflector is quite long and heavy aswell so I’m not sure if double sided tape will hold them, im just going to try gorilla tape and see how that works
@@vIMONST3RIv Yeah i have the Arosa Sport (Same as Lupo GTI) and my doors are massive, please report back how it holds, so i know if to buy some or not. Thanks mate
Unfortunately mine only was supplied 4 clips in total
john gore mine as well. I ordered front and back. Guess I have to order some extra from eBay then -_-
mine too... and I had to use at least 3-4 for my drivers window. otherwise my window would slam against the deflector and open back again bc of the safety mechanism
Lost on mine within a month nsr
Mine has 8 clips. 2 for every one.
Unfortunately I lost my rear ns wind deflector so I'm running with 3 tried phoning the company there were not interested
definitely looks way better love these mods keep up the good work man
Thank you so much for your support! I think everyone should get these.
ordered mine 👌
The third vid I watch and the only one explains quite well. When you install the litlle clips to retain the deflector, why you didn't show underview ? Whatever thank you for your video. Thumb up.
You tight git.....you didn't even buy new one's........not impressed at all.
Just spent 60 quid for front and rear heko deflectors for my 2015 Hyundai i40... put front ones on perfectly without the clips first, soon as the windows went up heard cracking sounds and windows automatically went down. Took out the deflectors and edges snapped off where sticky part was ...and then one snapped in half..I obviously got wrong sizes if that happened even though the description on packaging was for my type of car, rear deflectors was too loose kept falling off.. Didn't bother putting them on , so sent email to auto shop I always buy from about that with images to see if I get refund...I put team heko deflectors on other cars before with ease....These one's for i40 no good this time...Oh well
Installed mine without clips will ot make a difference? I got clips but seemed arkward on my a class nit trying to damage it they felt strong you have to put window up couple times until lined up otherwise keep coming up and down
Are team heko ones legal in the Uk
I don't see why they wouldn't be?
Heko UA-cam video shows the spike on the clip should be facing the outside of the channel, not inside. You have it installed with spike facing inside.
Good straight to the point video 👏🏻👍🏻
Not recommend for Freelander 2 too short and you have to leave a 20m gap from the top of your door to match up with the mirror plastic, not good
The métal clips degrade noise in car. A air flow can pass on my w204 classe c.
Any reason as to why my window kicks in safety release when it gets near the deflector
Walker Jessica Davis Patricia Walker Deborah
Can you send a link for the clips please
metal pins they have a little hook, when you insert them with that hook on the rubber side you will probably damage the rubber sealing of the door. i reccomend to direct that hook to hekko deflectro side
funny enough thats how they say to do it in the instructions is to put the hook side of the clip towards the deflector
It's the window chanel nothing to do with door seal that's on the car itself?
My instructions say inwards as the spike Could crack the plastic, holding fine
@@kevob369 windows sealing was designed to work without addons, anything you put between will cause problems, bear in mind.
Front windows look too dark to be legal. Looks good though.
can you do an "install a proper driveway" next? :)
You sound like my wife!
Probably looks like her too🤣
How to remove the clips if you want to remove them 😮
Bloody clips are a pain to get in grrrrrr
After 5 years, would you still reccomend them? I just bought them but I'm a bit nervous about longevity and scratches.
Still using these on the same car 5 years on and anytime I drive car without them I notice their absence! No issues with longevity. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
@@RedlineRevs thank you! 😊
Привет. Это были самые тёмные или нет?
I just installed 2 on my 3 dr astra h. The passenger was fine. When i did up the window on the drivers side the bit with the sticky tab above the door handle side split. I thought I saw in yours that the drivers side was busted too. Does it still work or should i get a refund. Tbh i did as instructions said. The window caught on it as I was doing it up and that when it made a bang and snapped. So pissed. I've left my windows closed for now still but not sure if it will stay in. Should I try get a new one since i only got them today?
Same thing happened to 2 cars that I installed them pasaanger side all fine and window is going up and down without problem but when I put the window up on driver side the part that goes in snapped
Plastic tools👍
Great video but damn refurb them wheels bro
Lol thanks wheel refurb video should be dropping sometime this summer.
Thanks for the video
Thanks. Clear simple video.
If you’re going to a carwash does it wash under it? And will it not break in a carwash?
If a car wash is breaking them then it’s probably trashing the rest of the car too?
This is a fine video.
Thanks bro 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻helped a lot saved me self a trip to the garage!!
Great video, do you pop the clips in the actual window channel? IE where the window closes in? Many thanks
Yup
Good instructions ,better than the Heko information -----Thanks
cheap plastic.low quality
Great vid appreciate !
ive fitted mine but it sounds a bit like its catching or rubbing when i close the window
are they available in India
I put my rear ones on the other way round on purpose cause I think it looks better!
Don’t forget the extra wind noise... to me.. unbearable
Same. Hated it
I ordered these for my brand new Nissan Rogue Platinum. These things are totally cheap pieces of crap! I got them in and I am suppose to use the clips. First time to every use clips. First off these things don’t stick. They don’t sit out far enough. The clips scraped my brand new window tent. Pissed me off. They also wouldn’t stay. What a waste of money! Waste of my time and money!
Would this work for frameless cars like TT? CANT FIND ANYWHERE ONLINE PLZ HELP
Thanks. It's all easy enough it seems. I'm looking to convert my Skoda estate a little for car acmping and want some rain-free ventilation. Cheers!
Thanks, but i go with the 3M tape
hi ya, how's it now? still stable ? any scratches? or any issues? thanks
Major problem with these is Theft ..people keep stealing them as they are so easy to get off .. I had a set taken off my 3 door Astra even though they were clipped and the windows were up. Seems they can be slid out once the scumbag pulls away the top corner :(
Have the same ones on my Mk1 Leon. The aircon is stuffed but I can keep the windows slightly open on the motorway to help keep cool. Just wish they were a bit bigger since it's difficult to open the electric windows a small amount. Also the edges are rather sharp, caught my hand on them a few times and it hurts!
Chris Wales I often don't use the air con with deflectors but you're right the back of the window opens down further than the deflector, however any bigger and they probably wouldn't look as good.
Chris, did you have a MK4 Golf at any point?
@@paulsheehan2998 no, but I still have the Leon and it's had most of the suspension replaced with 2nd hand parts including the rear axle. So I could be driving a mostly MK4 Golf now 😂
And they will distroy either your window rubber and the auto trap relece on the window ,
And if your going to make videos please get your sound set up right.
There were some fitted to my kizashi without the clips and fell off. Think I will put them back on with some fresh tape as the do look good.
Just tried fitting to a 2007 skoda superb, well rubbish is the word of the day, window just auto retracts as not enough room.
Shame as they looked OK but not useable.
Put 'em on my car today, could do with more clips provided. Tip... Don't just send your Windows straight up, bring them up slow n steady in case they catch on the deflector.!
How do you fit these clips for 2015 Acura TLX? My window channel seems to not fit them
Few questions, does this actually work? Also does it make any noise while driving with the windows closed? No problems with the window closing all the way up? Thanks...
Hi
I really want this for my Toyota Yaris hatchback hybrid 2020
Can tell me if you do this model?
And if available on eBay?
I may get these but will the clips scratch the windows as mine is a brand new car
Order plastic ones like i did
@@dabraka681 Where can I find plastic ones, can you link them please?
how do you orient this metal part? should the sharp pointy thing be facing deflector?
10/10 for describiing it. 1/10 for low audio, fix audio, bro!
In my case I added the clips before because I was told so by the unclear instruction and added more double sided tape as it was already present but for some reason, not that much
I installed mine but the brackets have scratched the edge of my window tint. Not sure if the clips are installed properly
Why do none of these fucking reviews have any footage of them being used?
Someone dinged your right side, that’s annoying. Nice video, thank you !
pff i have mine 1 year and already fallen... just trash dont buy..
I install like this and over time your wind at the top gets scratches always along even on passenger side not a good idea :(
I can find for mercedes w211 E280 2006 ??
Send me the website please
Having real trouble fitting these on my seat leon fr. There is no channel at all for the clips to go into. Deflector is so loose. There's barely half a cm of gap clips aren't fastened at all
I've fitted these, but my front windows whistle and let some road noise in 🙄
I bought wind deflectors for my seat mk2 2012 but the 2 front ones barely fit...when I put the windows up it struggles I made sure I bought the right ones but I'm not sure why it don't fit
That's odd - sure you got the right ones for mk2 and that they've been pushed up as far as they can?
Im looking just for the rear deflectors. Can you help me?
I am stuck trying to do mine, the clips aren't pushing in
The second i see they come with clips or wedges im good
What do you mean?
OK, you did the install, but where was the review? Or was that it?
Ok that’s how to install the clips that’s for posting this.
Another video said to install them with the spikey part of the clip facing outwards. I did that, is that probably gonna be fine still?
Mine came today, but they look huge, do they go straight on or do they need cutting?
Great video and easy to follow, best out there.
