Stoney871 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'm pretty sure that would be the best way to seat them properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 and its not gonna break my window right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 If you're worried try pushing them into place with a ice scraper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I don't know how the fitting varies to climair ones but mine don't have any clips on and they don't move at all on the motorway at 70mph with the windows down so I'd say leave them off and trial it for a few days. If you're happy then leave the clips. If not then put them in :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIESTA_MAD Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 Think i need the clips the driver one fitted ok but the passanger one wont go fully up so i need to use the clips i guess ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 If it won't go fully up surely putting clips would make it worse as it tightens the channel even more? They're obviously going to be a tight fit first because you're putting something in the window that wasn't thought about in the factory. I had to give my windows a hand up the first few times then I left the windows shut for 3 days (thank god for air con) then they worked amazingly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 No the heko clips push the chanal open pushing the deflector away to help the window close will fit them keep the windows closed and see what happen if nothing will try the helping it up method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushby-x Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 just if you struggle, im pretty sure they will be youtube fitting guides mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 is it normal for the window to sit lower that it would with the deflector fitted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 No mine don't, they're supposed to sit side by side with the deflector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 ok then will sort it but atm it is ok as the deflector will stop it leaking in the rain in the mean time so its good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST11 MCC Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 No mine don't, they're supposed to sit side by side with the deflector are those the climair ones? just got a set of them and think they look pretty good and took 5 mins to fit them, fitted them yesterdan and not been out in car to see what they are like lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Yeah mine are climair, I found them real easy to fit as well although I had images in my head of them snapping, it's quite a big angle you've got to bend them to. They were a bit of a tight fit at first but I left the windows shut for a few days then they were fine so it's probably a good thing you leaving them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIESTA_MAD Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 still my deflector is not seating right so i guess its out of shape not allowing it to close right. any other tricks to try ? tried helping it up and the clips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcr1 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Use a credit card and run it along the insides of the rubber, maybe there's a bit out of alignment? At first the auto pinch kept kicking in on mine. After I cleared the path it worked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Needle nosed pliers or a blade screwdriver to pry them out. They're reasonably flexible so you should be able to bend them enough to pull out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
