L22EEW Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Jeez some people, eh? I made an enquiry, to someone selling some deflectors on eBay. The advert wasn't clear (or so I think), I sent the seller a question asking if these were 2pcs or 4pcs. As the title states 5dr, but the listing doesn't mention how many pieces were included. Snooty reply or what? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninja_geezer Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I might try taking the deflectors off and see if I can fix the bent plastic around the windows. Can anyone else with the Heko deflectors check if the clips have bent the plastic around the top of the window? looking at the plastic i cant see you making it any better ,may be as well just to leave it .no one would ever notice TBH.i spoke to ford and the parts are available and are £27 per door but how they fit is another matter,.the dealer is getting a set in for me to look at .looks to me like they have been maybe applied with some kind of iron ?? or heat adhesive. i will let you know when i have seen them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, it would be good to know what they would charge including fitting. I was going to try and take the deflectors off today but it was too windy to attempt it. Once I get them off though I can decide whether I miss them or not. I think I'll miss the way they look from the outside, but I'll be glad to not have such a huge blind spot just to my right. And the main reason I got them was I hoped that I could drive around with the windows cracked open even at high speed, and just listen to the engine and the turbo, but it doesn't really work like that. The only thing they do is reduce wind buffeting, but above 40 mph all I can hear is wind. I know they have other benefits like stopping windows from fogging up and deflecting rain, but I can get the same benefit from closing the windows and turning on the air con.

Phil 87 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 My mind is now made up, thanks. ^_^ I was going to say that I'm not trying to persuade anyone to not get wind deflectors, it's just that my experience with them hasn't been good enough to recommend them. Maybe I'm missing something though, because they are a really popular mod and it seems like most people don't have any problems with them.

I could fit them back on but would probably need to put on some new double sided tape. At least they were cheap lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 You've got to think car's aren't designed to have things stuck in their window channels. There's always bound to me little niggles. Is the bulging really that bad? Will it ever break anything? Probably not. How long do you plan on keeping the car? I've had deflectors on cars for years and there's never been any issues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the bulging really that bad? Will it ever break anything? Probably not. How long do you plan on keeping the car? I've had deflectors on cars for years and there's never been any issues Yes that's what I was thinking, that the window channel is designed to fit the glass so putting extra stuff in there isn't ideal. The bulging is bad enough that there is a gap between the seal and the plastic in some places, so I don't want to leave it like that. If I didn't already have issues with the deflectors then I'd probably put up with it, but this was the final nail in the coffin really. At least I tried them anyway.

ninja_geezer Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Tell you what ,after driving a week with the deflectors on now they are off i drove with the window down a bit and what a difference they really do make,mine are going back on with tape... :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I've had deflectors on 3 different Focus's now and wouldn't be without them. If nothing else they help to reduce water running onto the inner door sill when opening the window in bad weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winemart2 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Doesn't the deflector tend to push the window inwards a touch therefore away from the rear seal allowing water in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninja_geezer Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 There is a thread on this somewhere on here .I'm not the only one who it has happened to.wish I had not used the clips now.its the clips that cause the damage when pushed firmly home.

Phil 87 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Since I removed my heko my drivers window now rattles.the clips also damaged the outer black trim . One more with windows damaged by Heko clips, so I'm not the only one :). On basically the same car as well, but I guess it can happen to any MK7 Fiesta. I also pushed the clips in very firmly, thinking it's all made of metal up there and wouldn't be damaged, how wrong I was. Have you looked into having the damage repaired or the trim replaced? I asked my local Ford dealer to have a look when it was in for its first service, but they couldn't really do anything. I'm thinking of taking it to a proper body shop, because they said if they try and replace the trim it could leave air bubbles and look worse than it does now.

Had a look at getting the new trim but its like a self adhesive trim and i think it will be a !Removed! to apply so im leaving mine as it is.it comes in 2 parts . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 87 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 ^ Yeah you could be right, at first I thought it would be best to leave it as is. But if I do find anywhere good to have the work done I'll report back here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
