Soaking them in hot, near boiling water may work to soften the plastic and make it easier to fit : p

The drive's window doesnt seem to open and close normally after putting the wind deflector.

What do you actually mean when you say it doesn't open/close normally? Do you mean that when closing, it doesn't close all the way? If that's the case, you'll just need to reset the closing position to allow for the deflector. From memory, I think you should close your window, and hold the button for about 6 seconds or so. This will teach the car the new window shutting position.

I wouldn't recommend doing this. Wind deflectors come with a pre applied adhesive strip, getting it near hot water will not be a useful addition...

Could a double-sided tape be of extra support so that it will fit better?

Nope, use the metal clips that would have come with it, the tooth side goes towards the car...

Probably why they don't fit well then 😂

If you've followed this video, I'm out of ideas unless you've been sent the wrong ones!

For any further support, I would suggest you post a photo of exactly where the issue lies, as we're just working blind...

I fully appreciate that English is not your first language, but honestly buddy, that post will not clarify anything you haven't said before! Let me have a stab. When the window closes, does it shut, then roll back again as if you have opened it?  If that's the case, you need to hold the button down to close, then keep it pressed 'closed' for about 7 or 8 seconds. That'll teach it the new shut position. If that's not the issue, I haven't a clue...

Yes it doesnt shut. Thats the issue. And the window is like it looses its balance while closing.

Take the deflector off, if window works as it should, you have installed it incorrectly, or have been supplied the wrong one.
