Wind deflectors

[InsigDriv3]

Are wind deflectors effective? I have seen the remarks on this platform from a few years ago on the impact of these devices on the automatic movement of windows. Are they worth acquiring or should they be disregarded?

[Bedelon]

The windows will be functional after being operated several times.

I have installed these in many vehicles and have had them on my own vehicle since I purchased it.

I had just removed my today because of their susceptibility to UV damage.

I am currently removing these since it enhances the overall visual appearance.

My car's headlights have been on for 7 years, and like RBH said, they may be influenced by the sun. However, I haven't had any problems, even with folding mirrors.(have a spare set ready).

I have had no problems with mine. If the window sashes are properly positioned in the window channel, they will not interfere with the operation of opening or shutting the windows.

I have had no problems with the operation of the windows on my vx-line for around 5 years. Whenever I tried to raise the window on my old vehicle, if the deflector had shifted even slightly, it would activate the anti-trap sensor and cause the window to lower again. Subsequent recalibration of the deflector would suffice for a duration of many months.

What I have seen, particularly with heko ones, as they are the most widely liked kind.
The most recent set I purchased was equipped with plastic clips, whereas the previous ones were equipped with metal clips.
The metallic ones may be flexed to provide a more snug fit for the deflectors.
The plastic ones are incapable of doing so.

Did I have bad luck with the clips, or have others also had issues with the plastic clips?

However, it is possible to purchase stainless steel.Products purchased from the online retailer Amazon.

[Sumoto]

The ones I purchased, which I believe are speed line or a similar brand, included metal clips. However, the heko ones I previously had on both my Astra's (Mk3 and 5) did not come with clips. Instead, I used double-sided tape to secure them and kept the windows closed for 24 hours to ensure proper bonding of the adhesive. I never encountered any problems with them shifting or moving. I have used the same procedure to my insignia and, so far, I have not encountered any problems (hopefully, that will continue to be the case).

[Mantelle]

Could it be related to the concept of velocity?

Yes, there are little pieces of double-sided tape on all the deflectors, but it is not sufficiently adhesive on some of them.

I have attempted to get the desired items, but it seems that they are no longer accessible.

[Sumoto]

Those are the ones!

Yes, I do attach extra pieces to the upper edge of them, allowing them to be placed wherever.

I was previously only familiar with Heko, then I came across Ispeed, which had positive ratings. I decided to give it a try, and so far, it has been satisfactory.

[KnightNewscast]

The deflector on the driver's side consistently prevents the window from closing when the mirror is positioned inward. The situation has remained the same since I installed them.

[InsigDriv3]

Thank you for all the responses, gentlemen. Your input is much welcomed.

[RosaStyle]

I had two sets of automobile keys for two different vehicles. 1 set of Helko and 1 set of iSpeed.
I did not use any clips or double sided tape at any point.
The effort required to immobilise them prevents their movement.
I strive to be distinctive.

Upon investigation, I have discovered that Edgevisors and Heko ones are identical.
