It's the clips that separate the window from the deflector. The window will sit inside the clips as a pose next to the deflector if that makes sense?

Yes that makes sense, so the clips push the deflector into the edge of the window channel? So that will protect the window and secure the deflector at the same time if I understand it right. And are the clips made of plastic?

  • I fitted the Hekos earlier today :). Here are some pics: I'm happy with how they look, and they match the privacy glass quite nicely. They were pretty easy to fit although there were a couple

    If you disclose every addition you have nothing to lose, if you don't, you may lose everything . . is it worth the risk ?

I've decided to go with the crowd and ordered a pair of Hekos from ebay :). I might not get them til next week but I'll put some photos up when they're on (if I can fit them without too much trouble). Are the instructions that come with them any good?

Can't wait to start driving everywhere with my windows open, and it's actually getting warm enough to do that :)

Fitting instructions are not that good, just a few basic diagrams printed on the polythene packaging. Watch the Heko YouTube video posted earlier on this thread this has some good fitting tips which should help.

And what about insurance, did you guys tell your insurance companies that you have wind deflectors or is there no need? I can't see how they would affect insurance, unless you drift sideways into someone and they injure themselves on the deflector lol.

Woop!

Plus you can sneak the window open, even when it's raining to avoid the misting of windows!

Let me know how you get on, and this will be the next thing to purchase for Shiesta :rolleyes:

When ordering mines from eBay mines days 7days a got it next day

Not really concerned with notifying insurance it's only a minor mod, they didn't seem that bothered when I informed them of fitting my winter tyres. Might just double check my policy just in case....

I need to renew / change my insurance in a couple weeks anyway so will mention it to them and see what they say.

Which insurer are you with? The only other mods I've done so far are changing most of the bulbs and wiring in the dashcam and didn't bother telling them about those (although I can hopefully get a discount for the dashcam). Not including the Mountune upgrade which most insurers recognise as an additional trim level.

If you've not told them about the camera and bulbs then why are you worried about the wind deflectors? They're far less of a modification than the other two.

In my mind they are more likely to be noticed, and considering the Hekos do not have any kind of safety certification I bet insurers would jump at the chance to not pay out because of something like that. Still I'd think they would have to prove that the wind deflectors somehow contributed to an accident, which is almost impossible.

Oh also said I was lowering it and said a don't know yet but anything upto 30mm is free

I'm waiting for Adrian Flux to get back to me! Provisionally offered £270 but only 1 mod declared [exhaust system] - 7 Yrs NCD. Have emailed them asking to add on all the mods as seen in my signature, just to get a rough idea. My policy is with Esure at the moment, renewal due in May.

Did a quick quote on comparison sites. Cheapest quote with exhaust declared was £397!!! Flux came in over £130 cheaper.

I thought Climairs didn't come with clips, or are they just supplied in case you need them?
