Overview

They offer a practical solution to in-cabin wind noise and rain while maximizing airflow throughout the vehicle. Check out our comprehensive Wind Deflector Guide that explores everything there is to know about the Wind Deflectors that we have to offer.

Question 2

How many doors does your car have?

Accepted Answer

There is difference in door length between 3-door and 5-door vehicles. In general, 3-door cars typically have longer doors to facilitate easier access to the rear seats. 5-door models distribute the door length more evenly across the vehicle, accommodating additional access points. Hatchback models can either be 3-door or 5-door depending on design, estate style vehicles almost always are 5-door, referring to the boot opening as a door. For saloon models, these are usually outlined as 4-door as the boot lid does not provide direct access to the cabin. Understanding these variations is crucial for selecting the correct set of wind deflectors for your car based on the number of doors it has.

Question 3

In-Channel Wind Deflectors

Accepted Answer

In-Channel Wind Deflectors are easy to install and require no adhesive. They are easily removed which makes perfect for permanent or temporary use.

Question 4

Gummi Pflege/ Rubber Care

Accepted Answer

Rubber seals around windows and doors often go untreated and deteriorate over the course of time. Gummi Pflege provides long lasting protection for the rubber seals in vehicle doors, windows and luggage compartments. We recommend the application of this product prior to the installation of wind deflectors.

Question 5

Helpful Tips

Accepted Answer

Before fitting, hold the deflector up to the door frame of your car to ensure it is the correct shape and size. Some wind deflectors are only designed to fit cars that have a certain number of doors as this impacts the length of the deflector e.g. 3-door vehicles have longer doors than saloons or hatchbacks. In most cases, these deflectors will be a perfect fit for your window channel. There may be strips of double-sided adhesive along the top of the deflector to further secure it in place, simply peel the protecting top layer off the adhesive and proceed to regular installation. Any models that require fitting clips will have the clips included. We also recommend cleaning the window channel to remove any dirt or debris with a screwdriver or similar utensils before attempting the installation.

Question 6

Shape

Accepted Answer

Please note these wind deflectors fit several car brands and models. When you receive this set your model may not be listed on the label but this component will still fit.

Before you try to fit them offer them up to the top of the window to ensure they are the correct shape and length.

Question 7

What are wind deflectors?

Accepted Answer

Wind Deflectors are fitted either into the window channel or mounted externally to the door frame to prevent an accumulation of turbulence and buffeting inside your vehicle and to maximize in-cabin airflow. They reduce wind noise and allow natural air to circulate in the vehicle. They are made from acrylic glass and help to deflect wind away from your vehicle to enhance your driving experience.

Question 8

What are rain guards?

Accepted Answer

Wind Deflectors are also referred to as Rain Guards due to their rain repelling characteristics. In-channel wind deflectors, unlike exterior mounted, are fitted into the window channels of the car doors. Both variations enable you to keep your window open while still protecting the interior from rain. In rainy weather, condensated windows can be problematic, preventing clear vision from inside the cabin. As deflectors allow natural air to circulate in the car, this prevents the risk of foggy windows during rainfall.

Question 9

How do I fit wind deflectors on my car?

Accepted Answer

Wind deflectors are very easy to fit and don't require any specialist tools. We've made an easy fitting guide for you to follow when fitting your wind deflectors to ensure a hassle-free installation. In some cases, additional clips may be included with in-channel deflectors depending on what model of vehicle you have. Clips secure the deflectors in place when the window channel is too wide for the deflectors to have a snug fit. If your deflectors didn’t come with clips, do not worry; your vehicle does not require them. After successful installation of your new wind deflectors, we recommend leaving your windows in the closed position for at least 24 hours to allow the rubber seals to mould around the deflectors.

Question 10

Do wind deflectors increase drag?

Accepted Answer

Wind deflectors do not increase drag. They actually decrease drag by deflecting wind away from your car, improving your car’s aerodynamics and airflow, allowing you to have the window down in any weather or driving condition such as motorway driving on a rainy day.

Question 11

Do wind deflectors decrease fuel consumption?

Accepted Answer

Keeping your car well ventilated reduces the need to use the air conditioning system, which certainly will reduce your fuel consumption.
